But the disruption to flights has sparked a demand for sea travel, with Irish Ferries reporting an increase in bookings and a surge in visits to its website for services today and tomorrow from both foot passengers and motorists.

Declan Mescall, head of passenger sales, said the mid-afternoon Dublin Swift sailing to Holyhead was almost full.

“The phones are absolutely hopping off the desk,” he said.

“It’s mainly foot passengers because people haven’t had time to go out and get their car.

“Its just been a phenomenal increase in last minute bookings, it’s just exceptional, anything like this level of activity within an hour of opening.”
