    Lot of fire engines just gone into Clare Hall shopping centre who ironically have power. Their backup lighting came on after a few seconds.

    Last big power outage in Dublin was about 6 months ago when people tried to cut a section of live 110kv cable from a substation in Inchicore. This started a fire and loads of west dublin was down.
