Customers in Leitrim to remain without power until tomorrow evening following Storm Amy damage

There are 190 customers still without power following damage from Storm Amy, according to the ESB.

Last night, around 2,500 customers nationally were still without power, with the ESB warning that it could take until "early next week" for all customers to be reconnected.

Storm Amy touched down on Thursday evening, with heavy rain causing massive flooding and a loss of supply to around 184,000 customers in the Republic and 65,000 in the North.

The last of the power should be restored to Leitrim by 7 p.m. tomorrow at the latest, according to the ESB’s website.

The majority of the remaining outages in Leitrim are in the south of the county, which was the area worst affected by power and water outages as a result of storm damage from Storm Darragh and Storm Eówyn in the last year.

“ESB Networks crews have restored power to the vast majority of customers across Leitrim following Storm Amy, which caused substantial damage to the electricity network,” said a statement from an ESB spokesperson.

“Crews are currently working to restore power to a very small number of customers who remain without power today.”

Last month, three new generators were rolled out by Leitrim County Council to help improve preparedness for storms going forward.

A number of local amenities, such as football fields, have suffered flooding, while the Organic Centre in Rossinver has suffered storm damage as a result of the Fridays' Storm Amy, estimated to be around €1,500.

It took weeks for some areas in Leitrim to have their power restored last year following Storm Eówyn, which left thousands in the county without power and water due to fallen trees on power lines, causing a massive amount of criticism over a lack of storm preparedness.

“Compared to storms Darragh and Eówyn last year, we fared better on this occasion,” said Kieran Brett, a spokesperson for Leitrim County Council, to Shannonside. “On Friday, we were primarily dealing with downed trees and blocked areas, and on Saturday, we saw flooding incidents as water levels rose, affecting roads around the county.”
