Over 700,000 homes, farms and businesses have had power restored in the aftermath of Storm Éowyn, according to ESB Networks.
As of 6pm yesterday (Monday), approximately 30,000 customers remained without power, down from a peak of 768,000.
Customers who remain without power will progressively have their supply restored over the course of next week.
Skilled technicians from counterparts in Austria, Finland, France, Great Britain, Germany, Netherlands and Norway are on the ground in the worst impacted areas.
They are supporting over 2,500 local ESB Networks crews and partner contactors who have been bolstered by colleagues from the south and east of the country, as well as skilled retirees.
In addition to the crews deployed, over 1,300 support staff are involved in overseeing damage assessment, emergency call management, logistics and network operations.
ESB Networks is reinforcing its vital warning around public safety as many faults remain on the electricity network.
The company has been made aware of several instances of potentially very dangerous incidents where members of the public have unknowingly approached fallen electricity infrastructure, particularly in the worst impacted areas of the country.
Following a significant weather event like Storm Éowyn, fallen debris can prevent people from seeing hidden risks such as wires entangled into trees and branches.
The public is reminded to never touch or approach these as they are live and extremely dangerous.
Damage to electricity infrastructure can be reported by calling 1800 372 999.
