ESB Clare Area Technical Manager says they are aiming to restore nearly half of those who are still without power in Clare tonight.

Since storm Eowyn, 1000 homes and businesses are still without power across the county and follow on power faults have also cropped up leaving more without electricity.

These new faults have been reported in regions such as Drumquin, Ennistymon and Miltownmalbay and will potentially effect the surrounding areas.

ESB are continuing to work through these power faults and expects the county to have fully restored power by the middle of next week.

Michael Sammin ESB Clare Area Technical Manager, advises everyone to stay vigilant for any exposed and damaged power lines
