Warning over low-hanging wires as power fully restored across Donegal

The public is being reminded to remain vigilant for low-hanging wires in the aftermath of Storm Éowyn.

ESB Networks has confirmed that power has been restored to all customers in Donegal this week.

At its peak, 87,000 homes, farms and businesses in Donegal were without power on 24th January.

Any customers that have not already reported loss of power are asked to contact ESB on 1800 372 999.

Nationally, around 1,500 customers remain without supply more than two weeks since the storm.

Pockets of customers mainly in parts of Roscommon, North Galway, Mayo and South Leitrim were still without power last night.

The National Emergency Co-ordination Group is again emphasising the importance of safety as storm clean up continues. “If you come across fallen wires or damaged electricity networks, never, ever touch or approach these as they are live and extremely dangerous,” the warning said.

Report any damage to electricity infrastructure by calling 1800 372 999. Clean up and repair operations should be left with professional operators who have the necessary competence to undertake the work safely. Only trained and competent operators equipped with the necessary personal protective equipment (PPE) should ever use chainsaws.

The NECG will meet again today.
