Work Ongoing To Restore Power After Storm Ashley
Around 16,000 homes and businesses are without power this morning as the cleanup from Storm Ashely gets underway.
The storm brought power outages, flight cancellations and some flooding around the country.
This morning, the ESB said most outages were in Galway, Mayo and Kerry – particularly in the Dingle area.
North Dublin has also been impacted and there are pockets of outages in other parts of the country.
ESB crews are currently mobilising to continue restoration works.
At the peak of the storm, over 50,000 customers were without power.
ESB spokesperson Paul Tapley told Newstalk that people heading out this morning should take care.
“As people go about their business today they are going to come across fallen trees and damaged networks so we strongly urge that people treat these as live and call our emergency number at 1800 372 372,” he said.
“If you are facing an outage and want to know when your power will be restored, powercheck.ie will give them that information.”
