Power has now been restored to the majority of homes that suffered interruption in supply following high winds from Storm Aiden on Saturday. The status yellow weather warning said winds will be strongest along coastal areas. There were less than 1,000 ESB customers without power at 5pm on Saturday, down from 8,000 who had lost power as a result of the high winds. The majority of homes still without power were located in Co Donegal, with crews expected to fix these remaining faults by Saturday evening. While power cuts were reported in varying numbers countrywide, the northwest was worst hit by the storm.
