2,500 still without power following Storm Eunice
Around 2,500 homes are still without power following Storm Eunice, primarily in west Cork, south Kerry and Wexford.
ESB repair crews were working through the night to restore power to more than 70,000 customers.
They estimate there could be up to 1,000 homes in isolated areas that will not have power restored until tomorrow.
A status yellow rainfall warning is in effect for counties Cavan, Donegal, Leitrim, Mayo and Sligo until 6 o'clock tomorrow evening.
