A number of agencies across the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland and the north of England pre-emptively shut their doors on Thursday and Friday (23-24 January) after several rare red weather warnings were issued, along with a slew of amber and yellow alerts.
Barrhead Travel took the decision on Thursday to shut all its stores in red warning areas, including its Glasgow HQ. Northern Ireland’s Oasis Travel, which has eight branches, was another to shut all of its branches on Friday as the storm intensified.
Hays Travel has shut its stores in Northern Ireland until 2pm on Friday, while a number of its branches across Scotland will be shut until Saturday.
