The ESB is warning it will be several days before power is restored to everyone, as almost 31,000 homes and businesses in the Shannonside counties are still without electricity due to Storm Darragh.
Many of the faults have estimated restoration times of 7pm tomorrow.
But an ESB spokesperson warned: "Significant numbers may be without supply for a number days.
"Due to the severity and significant scale of the damage some customers could be without power for approximately a week."
Meanwhile, the weather has also impacted on water supplies, some of which have lost electricity (see below).
