"ESB Networks have said that there are 184,000 homes, farms and businesses without power due to Storm Amy this evening. The outages have predominantly been affecting counties Galway, Mayo, Sligo, Roscommon, Leitrim, Cavan and Donegal, but there are outages in most counties across the country. ESB Networks have said that due to the volatile nature of the weather this evening, further outages can be expected."
"ESB Networks crews and partner contractors have been deployed to assess the damage, make the network safe and restore electricity supply in challenging conditions. ESB Networks crews are mobilised and are working to restore power where it is safe to do so. Our crews will continue the restoration for as long as possible this evening but, with the difficult conditions, it is likely"
Storm Amy left 184,000 homes, farms and businesses without power across Ireland this evening. Outages have predominantly affected Galway, Mayo, Sligo, Roscommon, Leitrim, Cavan and Donegal, with interruptions reported in most counties. ESB Networks warned that volatile weather could cause further outages and deployed crews and partner contractors to assess damage, make the network safe and restore supply where conditions permit. Crews are mobilised and working to restore power where safe, and will continue restoration efforts for as long as possible, but most customers are unlikely to have power restored tonight. A public safety warning urges people to avoid fallen wires and to report damage to 1800 372 999.
