Power restored to over 1,000 homes in Clondalkin after power lines damaged

Power has been restored to over 1,000 homes in Clondalkin this evening.

Strong winds generated from Storm Ophelia damaged power lines this afternoon just before 4pm, leaving 1,073 homes and businesses without electricity.

In relation to the outage, the ESB had said: “We apologise for the loss of supply.

“We are currently working to repair a fault affecting your premises and will restore power as quickly as possible.”

Thankfully, according to several locals who have contracted the Echo, power has been restored ahead of the daylight fading.

Meanwhile, in Greenhills, a small number (70) of homes are without power as are a number of houses in Ballyboden (87)
