Full list of power outages across Ireland as weather bomb set to batter the country

Storm Eunice has brought with it many issues from gale-force winds to lashings of rain and snow, with more on the way for some counties.

Extensive warnings have been published by health and safety bodies across Ireland as weather warnings have been upgraded to the highest alert status.

Schools across seven counties will remain shut tomorrow as Irish forecasters say the storm will bring significant risk to life as conditions are due to worsen.

There are many power cuts expected over the next 48 hours, and while hundreds of home power cuts have been resolved in recent hours, the east, south and midland counties continue to struggle with outages.

Eight areas are currently in darkness as ESB employees work to return power to the areas.

So if your electricity has cut off, here are the estimated times for a return according to ESB:

There are 137 customers in Baltinglass, Co Wicklow who are without power since 9:50 am this morning, and according to Powercheck it will be at least 7:00 pm before service resumes.

Twenty homes in Morristown, Co. Kildare have been without power since 2:45 pm today and will remain without until 5:00 pm this afternoon.
