As Ireland grapples with the aftermath of Storm Isha, a staggering 57,000 homes, farms, and businesses remain without power, setting the stage for more challenges as the country braces for the arrival of Storm Jocelyn. The relentless onslaught of storms has left communities vulnerable, with concerns rising about the potential impact on structures already battered by the previous weather event.
ESB Networks, responsible for power restoration, has made significant progress in restoring electricity to over 178,000 premises since the peak outages of more than 235,000 during Storm Isha. However, the bulk of the remaining outages is concentrated in the northwest, where the impact has been most severe.
