ESB says works in Dundalk to facilitate repairs to a building
Power out in buildings in parts of town centre
ESB Networks says that disruptions in parts of Dundalk, including Seatown and Jocelyn Street, were due to works to facilitate repairs to a building in the location.
The Dundalk Democrat contacted ESB Networks after reports of a large number of ESB vehicles being stationed in the centre of town, along with reports of power outages.
In a statement to the Dundalk Democrat, ESB Networks said that "These works were to facilitate repairs to a building in the location.
"ESB Networks standards require us to use a hoist for steel pole works, so hence there were a number of ESB Networks vehicles deployed in order to conduct these works efficiently and safely, while keeping disruption to customers to the minimum amount of time possible.
