    Storm Boelo: Flight disruption and thousands without electricity

    Around 6,000 customers across the island of Ireland are still without power after Storm Boelo.

    Northern Ireland Electricity Networks (NIE) said less than 1,000 customers remain affected, while about 5,000 homes, farms and businesses across the Republic of Ireland are still without electricity on Sunday evening.

    The storm saw gusts of wind reach almost 80mph in some areas on Saturday and led to flights being cancelled at Belfast City, Belfast International and Dublin Airport.

    The Department for Infrastructure (DfI) said around 470 incidents have been reported to the department.

    A spokesperson said: “This has mainly included fallen trees and branches and surface water build up on roads. Staff worked throughout the day to respond to incidents.”

    NIE Networks said repair teams will continue to work on Sunday evening to try and restore power to those still affected.

    Andrew Cupples, head of system operations, for NIE Networks said: “Thanks to the efforts of our engineers, contracting partners and support staff, we have now been able to restore power to around 11,500 customers.

    “With less than 1,000 properties still affected the hope is that our crews are able to restore power to all of those properties tonight, depending on the complexity of each repair.”

    The company said customers can check estimated restoration times using its Powercheck tool, external.

    A spokesperson for the Republic of Ireland’s ESB Networks said properties in the north-west of the country are primarily affected.

    ESB Networks said crews have been deployed to all impacted areas and they “expect the vast majority of impacted customers to have their supply restored by this evening”.

    A yellow warning for all of Northern Ireland ended at midday on Sunday, while a yellow wind warning in County Donegal ended at 15:00 local time.
