Power has now been restored to the town of Boyle.

The North Roscommon town had been hit with a major power outage earlier, which had affected hundreds of homes and many businesses.

It's understood that the loss of supply was caused by a vehicle with a high load hitting an overhead cable.

The power cut, which occurred just before 3 p.m., had disrupted supply to more than 700 customers.
