Storm Floris has led to yellow level winds causing power outages across Ireland, particularly in the North West. A spokesperson for ESB confirmed that around 10,000 homes, farms, and businesses are without power due to the wind impact. Crews from ESB Networks are actively mobilised to address outages where conditions allow. Real-time updates on outages and restoration can be accessed at PowerCheck.ie, and a safety message was issued advising the public to avoid fallen wires and report damage to the electricity infrastructure.
"The impact on the electricity network has been modest and in line with previous such wind warnings. Approximately 10,000 homes, farms and businesses across the country are without power."
"ESB Networks crews are mobilised in impacted areas and responding to power outages where safe to do so. Real-time information on power outages and restoration times is available on www.PowerCheck.ie."
"If you come across fallen wires or damaged electricity network, never, ever touch or approach these as they are LIVE and extremely dangerous."
"We apologise to all homes, farms and businesses impacted for the inconvenience caused," the spokesperson said.
