A TERRIBLE PERIOD FOR DUBLIN


by Valentina Michelon

From a week to now Dublin has been in a difficult situation because of freezing temperatures and heavy snowfalls. People can't stand this situation for much longer because all public transport services are experiencing delays.

Dublin airport won't be opened again until tomorrow morning and it will be opened only if the weather conditions will allow this. All Aer Lingus flights due to depart today have been cancelled. Passengers booked to travel on affected Aer Lingus flights are advised not to come to the airport. Also a lot of Ryanairs flights have been cancelled.




All of the outskirts streets are frozen so a lot of bus routes are stopped before the last stop. For example no buses will go into Lucan village, they will stick to the main roads only.

So in conclusion people can't move from their homes using public transport. They also can't use their own cars because it's too dangerous to drive.

Only the big streets are accessible to cars and trucks, but there is a lot of traffic and endless queues. They are forced to go slowly because of the bad condition of the weather.
