Thousands of customers in the county and surrounding areas are still without power this evening (Friday) as Storm Amy continues to wreak havoc on the electricity network.
Areas around Ballygar, Boyle, Roscommon Town, Glenamaddy, Cloonfad and Frenchpark area are among the worst affected.
Almost four and half thousand customers are without electricity in Ballygar and surrounding areas.
A spokesperson for ESB Networks said that with Met Éireann weather warnings still in place, and the dynamic nature of the event, further power outages can be expected throughout the evening.
Crews have been mobilised and are working to restore power where it is safe to do so.
“Our crews will continue the restoration for as long as possible this evening but, with the difficult conditions, it is likely that the majority of customers will not have their power restored tonight.
“We acknowledge the disruption to family and commercial life this causes and thank impacted customers for their patience as our crews work to safely restore power. We will update power estimated restoration times as soon as we have assessed the network, and these will be available to view on www.PowerCheck.ie,” said the spokesperson.
