Extensive flooding caused by Storm Amy has forced Kylemore Abbey to close its doors to tourists and visitors alike until Saturday afternoon.

"The safety of our visitors and our team remains our top priority, and we will reopen as soon as it is safe to do so", Kylemore Abbey stated.

Apologising for any inconvenience caused, the Abbey urged interested parties to keep an eye on their social media pages for updates.
