Port of Holyhead reopening delayed again as weather disrupts final repairs

The full reopening of the Port of Holyhead has been postponed once more, just a day before it was due. Terminal 3, closed since Storm Darragh struck in December, will now reopen this Saturday, after adverse weather delayed final repair works.
