There are 34,217 homes, businesses and farms across Louth are without electricity due to the 'damaging and destructive' Storm Éowyn.
ESB Networks says "extreme, damaging and destructive" winds associated with Storm Éowyn have continued to cause widespread and extensive damage to the electricity network across Louth and country with over 715,000 without power nationwide.
ESB Networks says it is continuing to closely monitor the storm impact on power supplies and all available resources stand ready to mobilise once safe to do so.
"From our experience of previous significant weather events and due to the severity of Storm Éowyn, we expect that power restoration will take a significant number of days.
"Given the extent of the damage nationwide estimated restoration times (ERTs) will only be provided once our teams have assessed network faults," said a spokesperson.
