Five community hubs have been set up across Clare as the aftermath of Storm Éowyn continues to be felt.
It follows a briefing held by the local authority yesterday afternoon to identify the areas of the county most impacted by the fallout.
The hubs will provide showers and charging facilities daily at Ennistymon Community Centre from 7am to 10pm and Kilrush Golf Glub, Loughraney Community Centre and Cnoc Na Gaoithe in Tulla from 10am to 4pm, while hot meals can be made available to those identified as in need.
Hotel Doolin will also provide the service and will be accessible at all hours up to and including Thursday, after this the hub will be available at the Imperial Hotel in Lisdoonvarna until next Tuesday.
Interim CEO of Clare County Council, Carmel Kirby, is hopeful the measure will alleviate the pressure of an unsustainable situation for people right across the county.
