Thousands of homes across County Leitrim have been left without power as Storm Eleanor rages across the county this evening. Many roads in the county are either impassable or partly blocked due to fallen trees and people are being advised to stay indoors until the storm passes over.
Carrick-On-Shannon has been particularly badly affected as over 6,000 homes have been left without power as Storm Eleanor ravages the county. According to the ESB, householders in Carrick on Shannon can expect to have power restored around 10pm. Over 700 homes in Carrigallen have also been left without electricity and power is due back at around 8pm. Homes in Mohill, Dromod, Keshcarrigan, Drumshanbo and Arigna are also without electricity. Power should be restored before 11pm.
The road between Ballinamore and Newtowngore is impassable due to a fallen tree.
