11 thousand ESB customers remain without power after damage caused by Storm Hannah, down from 33 thousand earlier this morning.

The worst affected areas are in Kerry, Clare, Limerick and Tipperary.

At the height of the storm, a status red weather warning was in place for Clare and Kerry.

ESB says says crews have been out since daylight to restore power as quickly as possible.

An RNLI Lifeboat was called into action in West Cork at the height of last night's storm surge.

Paul Stevens, from Castletownbere Lifeboat, says they got a call that a 33-foot fishing boat was stranded after losing power in Bere Haven Harbour.

The crew went out and managed to tow the boat to safety in difficult conditions.
