“Taoiseach Micheál Martin has announced he will offer people and businesses support caught up in the storm, and because of these“I’m in an EV you see, so the charges around Claremorris, around Galway Plaza, all around there were out.”“He’s a barman and he basically put the wire of my care to give me a little bit of a charge because I was literally down to zero.”Ev chargers 🔌 were down across most of the West.

“They got out just in time because the thing whips down – it just whipped down and I saw the CCTV footage of it, it was just so dangerous, these winds gusting up to 183 kilometres per hour. “Also, the mobile phone networks were down too – Vodafone, they’re saying they’re coming back on track, they’re currently at 11.5% impact on their total network are off air still – and that includes areas like Galway, Clare, Mayo, Kerry, Donegal and Sligo and into the midlands.”
