A local councillor has called for more localised communication from ESB to its customers on power outages and restoration efforts.
Ballyhaunis councillor Alma Gallagher says many households in the region are now facing 17 days with no power, following a change in estimated restoration times from last night to Sunday the 9th.
She says that people are being dark when it comes to knowing why it takes so long for their power to return.
Councillor Gallagher says that for example, ESB crews told her that the reason the Knock area has been left so long with no power is down to damage along the backbone line to Knock.
This is something that homes and businesses had not been made aware of.
She has been speaking to Midwest Radio's Alannah Nolan...
