This comes after Storm Dennis battered the coast at the weekend.
The storm caused flooding, road closures, major disruption on the railways and high winds brought trees crashing down.
It arrived hot on the heels of the previous weekend’s Storm Ciara, which caused such structural damage to the remains of the fire-ravaged Claremont Hotel it had to be demolished.
