About 4,000 customers were without power overnight after Storm Doris swept across the country early on Thursday 23-Feb-17.
While 49,000 homes had their electricity restored over the course of the day, an estimated 8,000 remained without power on Thursday night.
Those without power were in areas stretching from Castlebar and Sligo across to Drogheda & Dundalk, including parts of counties Roscommon, Leitrim, Longford and Cavan.
During the orange level weather alert, the gusts reached hurricane force 12 in some areas, with the highest wind of 133 km/h recorded at Mace Head in Co Galway, according to Met Éireann.
Commuters faced major disruption on Thursday morning, with roads and railway lines blocked by trees that had fallen over in the storm.
