Schools with power can reopen tomorrow if 'safe to do so' as 278,000 customers?still without electricity
Briefly

ESB Networks has stated that the majority of customers impacted by Storm Éowyn will have their power restored by the evening of January 31. However, around 100,000 individuals might experience outages until the following week. The Department of Education emphasizes that schools can reopen once power is back and safety assessments are completed, but decisions on reopening rest with individual school boards. Currently, approximately 278,000 customers remain without power, though ESB has restored supply to 490,000, marking this storm as one of the most severe in recent history.
We anticipate that the vast majority of customers who lost power during Storm Éowyn have supply restored by Friday night, January 31.
Schools should carry out safety checks on buildings and facilities, check for fallen wires and any other damage near the school before reopening.
