More than 715,000 homes are without power in Ireland.

 

The Electricity Supply Board (ESB) said the power cut was “unprecedented” and would only get worse.

 

It said:

 

We anticipate significant further outages as Storm Éowyn continues to track across the country.

 

Extreme, damaging and destructive winds associated with Storm Éowyn have continued to cause widespread and extensive damage to the electricity network across the country with over 715,000 homes, farms and businesses (as at 8am) without power.”

 

Shannonside Radio covering the midlands and border counties is reporting multiple incidents including a roof blown off a house in Fourmilehouse in county Roscommon. The occupants have not been injured, it reported.
