The vast majority of Clare homes and businesses affected by thunderstorms will have their power restored tonight.
Over 450 premises near Ennis, Crusheen, Kildysart, Kilshanny, Ennistymon and Lisdoonvarna are still without electricity following last night’s thunderstorms.
The lightning strike brought down the power line in Kildysart last night and ESB is warning the public to stay away from exposed cables as they still may be live.
ESB Clare Area Manager Alan Hogan has been telling Clare FM’s Daragh Dolan that while most customers will have their power back this evening, people must remain vigilant and immediately contact them if experiencing issues.
