A spokesman for the ESB said âa few hundred customersâ were without power with crews mobilised early this morning to conduct repairs.

Businesspeople and homeowners were breathing a sigh of relief after high tide in Cork city passed off without any major incident on Sunday.
There had been fears that heavy rains all day might lead to the river Lee overspilling quay walls and flooding low lying city centre areas.
However, the high tide passed without incident at about 4.30pm on Sunday and water levels in both the north and south channels of the Lee began to subside soon after.
Midleton in east Cork also emerged unscathed to the relief of locals who suffered extensive flood damage when the Owenacurra burst its banks during Storm Babet in 2023.
