Titanic Belfast has been closed following damage caused by Storm Isha.

Damage was caused to the roof of the popular tourist attraction on Monday with the building shut on Tuesday to “safeguard” public and staff.

Repairs are underway with workers seen on the roof of the building on Tuesday.

Siobhan Lynch, director of operations at Titanic Belfast said: “Titanic Belfast will be closed to the public today due to damage caused to the roof during Storm Isha and further inclement weather from Storm Jocelyn preventing safe access to the roof.
