Thousands of people are experiencing loss of supply due to power outages, which may increase as reservoir levels drop.

Approximately 120,000 people across the country have no water this lunchtime due to the storm event; an additional 150,000 people are now being supplied by schemes where generators have been deployed.

However, supplies for a further 275,000 people are at risk in areas where power is yet to be restored.

The national water company stated that the affected counties with the most impacts are Kerry, Clare, Tipperary, Cavan, Monaghan, Longford, Laois and across the North West.

The repair crews are currently on the grounds across the country in efforts to restore the supplies and deploy generators at sites where power has not been restored.

They are currently coordinating with the ESB to prioritise power restoration and liaising with other agencies, including the National Emergency Co-ordination Group (NECG) and local authorities.

The NECG continues coordinating and supporting efforts to restore power, water, telecommunications and other services to thousands of homes, farms and businesses.

To date, 308,000 power connections have been restored and the intensive repairs and work will continue over the weekend.

However, the full restoration is expected to take more than a week in the worst impacted areas.

The Minister for Social Protection, Dara Calleary, has confirmed that the Humanitarian Assistance Scheme will be available to provide support to those living in properties directly affected by Storm Eowyn.

‘UNPRECEDENTED STORM EVENT’

Uisce Eireann’s Head of Water Operations, Margaret Attridge, said that there has been positive progress made overnight on the repairs – but several people are experiencing loss of water supply due to power outages.

She said: “This unprecedented storm event has had a severe impact on our water and wastewater network nationwide.

“Our crews are on the ground in all impacted areas working to restore water service as quickly as possible, but given the extent of the damage to the power network, it may take some time before full service is restored everywhere.

“We ask for the public’s continued patience during this challenging time.

“In locations where water supplies have been impacted for longer periods, we are deploying alternative water supplies.

“Details of these supplies and their locations will be posted across our website and social media channels as they become available.”

Margaret also urged customers to conserve water where possible to protect supply while the outages are resolved.

People can take some simple steps to conserve their water, such as avoiding water-intensive appliances during this time.

CHECK FOR LEAKS AND BURSTS PIPES

The national water company urged customers to notify them about their burst pipes as it struggles to provide standard supplies, which may lead to more water supplies being wasted due to a leak.

The crew needs to be notified about leaks or burst pipes so they can perform maintenance and repairs to reserve the water supply.

During the stormy days, there has been a notable increase in leaks and bursts caused by the debris across the network.

As a result, thedemand has increased, meaning it was impacting reservoir storage.

All homeowners are urged to check any property under their responsibility for burst pipes and leaks and report it to the crew to be prioritised for repair

And people are reminded not to leave the taps running and to fix dripping or leaking taps to preserve the water reservoir supply.

Customers can stay informed about their local water supply by visiting www.water.ie, via Uisce Éireann’s X feed, @IWCare, or by signing up for our free text alert service via the website.

Alternatively, they can get in touch via their 24/7 customer care centre at 1800 278 278.

Carl and Aisling got married in Ballybeg House in County Wicklow in April 2022.

The 2FM host shared the exciting baby news with his fans on his Instagram today and revealed his newborn’s name.

Aisling gave birth to a baby girl last week and called her Béibhínn.

Carl wrote: “Welcome to the world, Béibhínn Mullan.

“We are so over the moon to have another beautiful little girl who joined us last week, and both she and her Mam are doing great.

“We’ve spent the last few days adjusting to life as a family of five—and coming to terms with the fact that we are both now officially outnumbered.”

He added: “Once again, we can’t thank the wonderful staff at Holles Street Hospital enough.

“Honest to God, they are angels on earth. There were so many we came across—some whose names we can’t recall—but to Rebecca, Omar, Sophia, Bríd, Bianca, Trish, Katie, Eugenia, and everyone else we were fortunate enough to meet: we are forever grateful to you for bringing our daughter safely into the world.”

Friends and fans raced to the presenter’s comment section to gush over his newborn’s birth.

Carl’s former co-host Doireann Garrihy wrote: “Super Dad, seriously Super Mom @aisling_mullan. Welcome to the world beautiful Béibhínn.”

Radio star Emma power rejoiced: “Another beauty. Congratulations to you and Aisling Mullan.”

Ailbhe Garrihy commented: “Beautiful baby girl. Congrats and well done mama.”

Carl opened up about his body image struggles, particularly since becoming a dad, last year.

He explained that looking back he wasn’t ready for how his life would change when he welcomed his first child.

Speaking to Brendan O’Connor on his show, the Dublin native said: “I don’t think I was fully mentally prepared before becoming a dad for what it would mean.

“I often talk to people about the mourning of the loss of your old life. That’s probably the biggest thing I’ve had to try and figure out.

“You realise, ‘Oh, it’s gone. It is not coming back’, I keep thinking it’s coming back – it’s not.”

The 35-year-old explained how deep rooted his relationship with his weight has become as he wants to be the best version of himself for his kids

He said: “It is something that I’ve always struggled with. There’s less time for yourself or to go to the gym, I’ve definitely struggled with body image and particularly in the last couple of years.

“It’s just feeling self-conscious about putting on weight or clothes not fitting as well as you’d like and being out and about and wanting to look good.

“But actually, a lot of it now, it’s even more deep-rooted, because I want to be the best version of myself for my kids.”

He added: “I want to be healthy and I want to be there for them. And sometimes, just because it’s so mad, you don’t get to be that best version of yourself the whole time.

“It’s nearly the fact that I know that just by eating healthy and exercising, I know I can be the best version of myself, creatively, and I can have more energy for my kids.

“So there’s nearly a guilt around when you’re not eating properly because you’re just running on empty. That you’re going, ‘But now I know I’m not being the best version of myself that I can be’.

“There’s definitely an element of that public body image, but actually it’s more so rooted in just me and my life at home.”
