Cleanup efforts are continuing across Clare following Storm Éowyn.

Last night over 30,000 homes, farms and businesses remained without power for a second day following one of the most severe weather events the county has seen.

At the height of the storm, Shannon Airport recorded gusts of 137 Kilometres an hour, while over 44,000 premises in Clare were left without electricity.

At lunchtime yesterday as the weather alert expired this number reduced to 37,000 and as of this morning power has been restored to 14,000 premises.

ESB crews were out again at first light this morning with the assistance of helicopter crews to identify major damages and outages.

ESB Technical Manager, Michael Sammin, says additional crews have been deployed to help restore power to priority areas of the network, which will aid in wider restoration efforts which will continue through the weekend.
