Thousands of people are still without power in the Shannonside region as Storm Jocelyn makes landfall. As the clear up continues after Sunday night's storm, weather warnings have been issued nationwide.
ESB crews are still working to restore power to thousands of homes across the Shannonside region today following Storm Isha. The Shannonside region was among the worst hit by the storm.
As of this afternoon, over 6,000 homes, farms and businesses are still out. Leitrim is the worst hit, with ESB networks still tackling close to 3,000 outages.
That's followed by Roscommon at over 2,000 in Roscommon with Ballaghaderreen and North Roscommon the worst hit. In Longford, approximately 1,000 people are waiting for their electricity to be restored.
The ESB has warned that it may take a number of days to fully restore power at properties in some areas. This comes as Storm Jocelyn is currently moving over the region.
People are urged to drive with care with warnings that trees or power lines already weakened by Storm Isha could be blown down by Jocelyn. ESB is expecting further outages from tonight's storm, with repair works in many areas forecast to stop due to high winds.
