In Loughboy the lights flickered for a bit. According to RTE theres a problem at the ESB substation on O'Loughlin Road. Power may not be restored until tomorrow.

Around 50% of households around Kilkenny city are without electricity. A transformer is broken at Nowlan Park. Initial indications are that power may not be restored until sometime tomorrow.

Chorus went at the same time as the power went. I rang and they said there was a major fault affecting all of Kilkenny. Thankfully it came back at around 8pm. God help you if you need to ring them.

Ah! So that explains the lack of Chorus and national radio.

For a second there I was thinking that skynet had struck back.
