245,000 homes across the country remain without electrical power.

245,000 áitreabh ar fud na tíre gan cumhacht leictreach i gcónaí.

Around 180,000 properties in the State are still without electrical power following Storm Éowyn which caused extensive damage across the country last Friday.

Tá thart ar 180,000 áitreabh sa Stát fós gan cumhacht leictreach i ndiaidh Stoirm Éowyn a rinne díobháil mhór ar fud na tíre Dé hAoine seo caite.

Cavan, Monaghan, Westmeath, Longford, Roscommon, Clare, Galway, Silesia and Donegal are the areas that continue to suffer the most, according to the Electricity Supply Board.

An Cabhán, Muineachán, an Iarmhí, an Longfort, Ros Comáin, an Clár, Gaillimh, Silgeach agus Dún na nGall, sin iad na ceantair is mó atá thíos leis i gcónaí, dar le Bord Soláthair an Leictreachais.

The company estimates that power will be restored in many of these areas by next Friday, but they say that other areas will remain without it for some time to come.

Measann an comhlacht go mbeidh an chumacht ar ais i gcuid mhór de na háiteanna sin faoin Aoine seo chugainn ach deir siad go mbeidh áiteanna eile fágtha dá huireasa go ceann tamaill eile.

It is estimated that 65,000 homes in the North are still without electrical power.

Meastar go bhfuil 65,000 áitreabh sa Tuaisceart fós gan cumhacht leictreach.

The fact that the Electricity Supply Board has asked electricity companies abroad to come to their aid is a testament to the great work that still needs to be done.

Léiriú ann féin ar an obair mhór atá le déanamh fós is ea gur iarr Bord Soláthair an Leictreachais ar chomhlachtaí leictreachais thar lear teacht i gcabhair orthu.

Teams from Austria and Finland have arrived in Ireland today to assist technicians in restoring power.

Tá meithleacha ón Ostair agus ón bhFionlainn tagtha go hÉirinn inniu le cuidiú le teicneoirí abhus an chumhacht a thabhairt ar ais.

More teams will be arriving from France and the Netherlands in the next few days.

Beidh tuilleadh meithleacha ag teacht ón bhFrainc agus ón Ísiltír as seo go ceann cúpla lá.

In addition to electrical power, approximately 74,000 households are still without water supply.

Chomh maith le cumhacht leictreach, tá thart ar 74,000 áitreabh gan soláthar uisce i gcónaí.

To make matters worse, Irish Water says that another 70,000 properties could soon lose their water supply.

Mar bharr ar an donas, deir Uisce Éireann go m'fhéidir go gcaillfeadh 70,000 áitreabh eile fós a soláthar uisce siúd go gairid.

These are homes, the company says, that receive water from reservoirs that are gradually drying up because they have not had electrical power since last Friday.

Áitribh iad sin, a deir an comhlacht, a fhaigheann uisce ó thaiscumair atá ag dísciú de réir a chéile mar nach bhfuil cumhacht leictreach acu ón Aoine seo caite.

The Government has established emergency hubs in sixteen counties across the State to provide relief to people whose needs are not being met following the storm.

Tá moil éigeandála bunaithe ag an Rialtas i sé chontae dhéag ar fud an Stáit le fóirithint a chur ar fáil do dhaoine nach bhfuil riar a riachtanais acu tar éis na stoirme.

Hot meals, broadband services and laundry facilities are being provided in the various centres.

Leithéidí béilí te, seirbhísí leathanbhanda agus áiseanna níocháin atá á gcur ar fáil sna hionaid éagsúla.

Cavan, Monaghan, Westmeath, Meath, Longford, Leitrim, Roscommon, Cork, Limerick, Galway, Sligo, Donegal, Laois, Offaly, Wicklow and Wexford are the counties in which the emergency hubs are based.

An Cabhán, Muineachán, an Iarmhí, an Mhí, an Longfort, Liatroim, Ros Comáin, Corcaigh, Luimneach, Gaillimh, Sligeach, Dún na nGall, Laois, Uíbh Fhailí, Cill Mhantáin agus Loch Garman, sin iad na contaetha a bhfuil na moil éigeandála bunaithe iontu.
