Residents of Castlerea, Ireland, express anger and frustration over the lack of essential services following Storm Éowyn. People complain about repeated power outages, spoiled food, and the disruption to daily life. They urge the government to provide better support and invest in alternative energy solutions.
Storm Éowyn aftermath: Anger and frustration are evident in Castlerea over lack of power, water and phone services. Ms Connolly said this was the fourth time in 12 months they had lost power and the third time that she had to throw out a freezer full of food.
She urged the Taoiseach to make grants available to people so they could invest in solar alternatives and come off the grid altogether. Ms Malone paid tribute to the ESB personnel, Uisce Éireann staff and council workers who are working around the clock to try and restore services as quickly as possible, but she told the Taoiseach they needed more help and needed it urgently.
At d’Gaff community space in Castlerea, where members of Castlerea Town Team and other volunteers are providing charging services and water, the Taoiseach spoke with students from the nearby Castlerea Community School who told him of their concerns about getting applications in on time for university places.
