As a result of the death and devastation the storm brought, the government are being urged to implement an official storm protocol, to ensure that there are plans in place if this was to happen again.
As of Tuesday, February 11, a total of 11 emergency response hubs remain open in Galway and Mayo. These hubs continue to serve the needs of customers who may be experiencing broadband outages.
ESB Networks wishes to remind the public to remain vigilant to the possibility of unidentified low hanging wires and should these be encountered, please keep away and report them to ESB Networks immediately.
