ESB NETWORKS CREWS are out working to reconnect households left without power this evening, as Storm Eva sweeps across the country from the west.
Around 2,000 homes and businesses were without electricity as of 10.30pm tonight.
One of the worst hit areas was around Naas in Co Kildare where around 1,460 households were without power.
There have also been outages in Achill, Dungloe in Donegal – and in Artane and around Leeson Street in Dublin this evening.
Faults are also being reported around the west and southwest – with customers off-line in Limerick, Mallow, Fermoy, Cork City and Cobh and near Waterville in Kerry.
You can keep an eye on the situation via the ESB Powercheck site.

Worst storm Eva

Eva’s stealing all the electricity for Wall-E
the storms are wrecking my head at this stage. I hope people who are without power or were flooded recently get sorted soon.
They’re doing a great job – we’re lit up again
Climate alarmists wet dream

Liam, I’m an underground cable jointer in the ESB, the past 3 weeks our crew has been absolutely inundated with cable faults so it’s not as simple as that me auld flower.

It costs more money that…
Why can’t a country in which it rains 3/4 of the year deal with rain? Hope their power gets sorted for Christmas.
Its the wind that is the problem
It’s a little bit breezy out.
Then put it in.
Power is out in Wicklow too !
Humbug
Bit of rain and strong gales and it’s classed as a storm. We never classed this before Ireland started naming them, now it’s every other week. This is normal weather to us. It’s Ireland. Bit warm for this time of year tho.
Still will not beat the night of the big wind, 6th January 1839 and that was before global warming???
Why what happened?
Watch out Jose!!! ;-)
rain at the moment is mental we have flooding at the top of a hill for gods sake
naming them sems to have upset them all they are gettin angry with us
E.S.B. Networks these are the guys/gals that repair the power lines in any weather .They will keep at it until the power is back on ,
Are you aloud call them the ESB anymore?
