Electricity supplies restored in Co Galway

Electricity supplies have been restored to most areas of Co Galway which experienced power cuts this evening.

Only Cill Chiaráín in the west of the county and a small number of houses in Oranmore remain without power.

No explanation has been given by the ESB for the outages, but in the case of Oranmore, vandalism of a local substation resulted in 2500 households losing power.

A spokeperson for the ESB said  that around 30 houses in Oranmore will not have their power restored until tomorrow due to the damage caused.
