    And in the US...

    Sitting here with my remaining candles from Christmas, some slowly warming beers and no ice for any spirits as I dare not open the freezer. And some semi industrial LED battery units I have from when I insulated the attic got more practical light.

    Is it affecting just parts of Maynooth or more widespread?

    Any idea what happened?

    Get the power check app! ESB update it constantly (every 15minutes orcso) with faults and expected time of repair.
