Power has finally been restored to all homes and businesses in the Shannonside region after Storm Darragh.

At one stage, 31,000 customers in Longford, Leitrim and Roscommon were without electricity and it took the ESB until today to repair all the faults.

Areas of north Roscommon and south Leitrim had to wait until today to get their power back.

The storm brought winds of up to 140 kilometres an hour on Friday of last week.
