First power outage reported in Limerick due to Storm Franklin

THE FIRST and hopefully last power outage in County Limerick due to Storm Franklin has been reported in Ardpatrick.

Currently, 121 ESB customers are without power. The estimated restoration time is 5.15pm this Sunday. 

ESB apologised for the loss of supply and is "currently working to repair a fault affecting your premises and will restore power as quickly as possible".

Limerick is faring much better than neighouring Cork and Clare where multiples locations have lost their electricity. 

The recent heavy rain has softened soil, leaving trees more susceptible to falling in the severe and damaging gusts during Storm Franklin.
