Government urging people to avoid all the Island's plantations until they're assessed

South Barrule Plantation has been deemed 'unsafe to visit' and has been closed to the public until further notice.

It's because of the significant damage it suffered in Storm Darragh over the weekend.

Winds of over 90mph were recorded in some parts of the Island.

Government is currently carrying out assessments of all the Island's plantations and is urging everyone to avoid them for now.

It's apologised for the inconvenience.
