45,000 still waiting for electricity.

45,000 fós ag fanacht leis an gcumhacht aibhléise.

The Electricity Supply Board says that only up to 45,000 customers are now left to be reconnected to its network following storm Éowyn.

Deir Bord Soláthar an leictreachais nach bhfuil fágtha anois le ceangal ar ais ar a ghréasán i ndiaidh na stoirme Éowyn ach suas le 45,000 custaiméar.

He indicated that electrical power has now been restored to up to 723,000 households, farms and businesses.

Thug sé le fios go bhfuil an chumhacht aibhléise curtha ina ceart in athuair do suas 723,000 anois idir theaghlaigh,fheirmeacha agus ghnólachtaí.

He also says he is doing his best to restore power to the remaining areas that have now been without electricity for over a week.

Deir sé freisin go bhfuil sé ar a dhícheall ag iarraidh an chuid eile atá fágtha anois gan leictreachas le breis is seachtain a chur ina gceart.

'Engineers from Britain and other European Union countries are supporting the effort,' he says.

'Tá innealtóirí on Bhreatain agus tíortha eile ón Aontas Eorpach ag tacú leis an iarracht' a deir sé.

It is reported that up to 3,000 customers in Northern Ireland are still without electricity since the storm hit the island a week ago last Friday.

Tuairiscítear go bhfuil suas le 3,000 custaiméar i dTuaisceart Éireann d'uireasa na cumhachta aibhléise go fóill ó thug an stoirm ropadh faoin oileán seachtain ó Dé hAoine seo caite.
