Over 18,000 ESB customers across the Shannonside region are still affected by power outages. Storm Éowyn has caused significant disruption to electricity and water supply, with electricity for some homes without power for at least another week.
ESB crews are active across the region as they attempt to return power to thousands of homes and businesses in Longford, Leitrim and Roscommon. Emergency crews from the Netherlands, France, Austria and Finland are due to arrive from today to help the ESB restore electricity supply to homes and businesses across the country.
