    Our power went out about 20 mins ago. Just wondering if it's just general Dunmore Rd area?

    Recorded message on ESB report line says no estimate as to when it will be back. Just as well we have plenty of candles!

    Somebody tried to remove old ferry which probably belonged to Waterford Castle. Vessel ran aground so they pulled it together with all mud, rocks and... huge underwater power cable which supplies electricity to Ballinakill Island;) I think that caused system failure last night in the city.

    The Ferry does not belong to Waterford Castle.

    The new ferry probably belongs to NAMA;) But we're talking about old old old ferry which was moored over there for at least last four years.

    The old old old Ferry was never property of Waterford Castle. It was used by them.
