Electricity went at 6:30pm yesterday in castleknock, any idea when it came back, I waited until 10:30pm. Wonder was it down to the weather?

No idea. Could be a local fault.
In general terms Ireland has an increasing shortfall in energy production thats existed before long before weather problems.

It's the second time in a short space of time that the lights have been out at the Auburn avenue and M50 junctions. That's so dangerous.

Can't remember the power being out as long as that for the last 30 years.
