Over 500 homes across region still without power this morning

Over 500 homes across the Shannonside region continue to be without power today.
Storm Dave caused over 2,000 outages locally yesterday evening, with most of these restored this morning.

However 217 homes in Castlerea and 89 homes across Arigna and Mohill are still without power, with ESB estimating electricity supplies will be restored by 2pm.
In Athlone, 187 homes continue to be without electricity, although it is currently unknown when that power will be restored.
While in Longford, 44 homes can expect their power to be back by 2:45pm.
ESB Networks crews are mobilised across the country to restore power to homes and businesses affected by Storm Dave.
The worst of the storm passed away overnight, with colder but calmer weather expected for the rest of the Bank Holiday.
But the RNLI's Killian O'Kelly is warning it will take a couple of days for the seas to calm back down.
