ESB Networks' repair crews are continuing to work to restore power to customers still affected by faults due to Storm Doris.

The network says it expects only about 50 customers, mainly near Carrick-on-Shannon, to be without power tonight.

ESB Networks is trying to liaise with these affected customers directly.

Around 3,000 customers in areas worst-affected by Storm Doris were without power last night.

Crews from ESB Networks have been working to fix more than 600 individual faults since early morning.

Some households may be without power for a second night because of the severity of the damage caused by Storm Doris, the company has said.

56,000 customers were without power at one stage yesterday in the aftermath of the storm, which had gusts of over 100km/hr.
