More than 600 homes and businesses were impacted by power outages in Donegal last night as high winds and stormy conditions hit the west coast of Ireland.

The storm, named Storm Elsa, brought gusts of up to 120km/h to counties Galway and Mayo during the night, with parts of Galway affected by damaging floods.

Electricity outages are reported in four parts of Donegal this morning.

ESB Networks are working to repair the following faults in the county:

Almost 400 customers in Dungloe are without electricity, estimated restore time is 2pm.

165 customers are affected in Glenties, estimated restore time is 2pm.

Up to 57 properties are affected in Donegal Town, estimated restore time is 2pm.

27 customers are without power in Ballyshannon, estimated restore time is 2pm.

There were also several reports of fallen trees in the county last night, and drivers are being advised to take care and watch out for wind-blown debris on the roads.
