Tens of thousands of homes remain without power after Storm Betty battered Ireland.
TENS of thousands of homes remain without power after Storm Betty battered Ireland.
Just before noon on Saturday, just under 50,000 electricity customers remained without power with the damage mainly attributable to lightning and fallen trees on overhead lines as a result of the high winds. An ESB Networks statement said: “All available resources are being deployed to respond to all electricity outages where safe to do so.“ESB Networks crews have been working since first light and will work through this afternoon into this evening to restore power to as many customers as possible.“However, due to the scale of the damage to the electricity network, some customers in localised areas may remain without supply overnight.
The 31-foot ketch had been anchored off Dromquinna and, as the storm became increasingly strong, the vessel dragged anchor and became stuck on a rock.
