ESB is working with Uisce Éireann to restore supply in the affected areas.

It's after the devastation caused by Storm Darragh yesterday morning.

It was known locally as "The Big Tree," and once stood at St. John's Church in the town.

Many towns in the Shannonside region have introduced paid-parking, like Longford town and Carrick-on-Shannon.

ESB crews are working to restore electricity to homes throughout Longford, Leitrim and Roscommon.

It all kicks off with Christmas Markets in the new-look Square this afternoon featuring fire and circus performances.

Organisers say they are mindful of current weather warnings but are confident the storm won't impact the annual event.

They’re rising by 5 per cent, in the first increase in the county in over 15 years.
