Around 8,600 homes and businesses are still without power as the clean-up operation following Storm Franklin continues around the country.
The ESB said this is down from a peak of around 29,000 outages this morning.
Repair crews are continuing to work this evening, but it is likely that some customers will be left without power overnight - mostly in Donegal, particularly in the Letterkenny and Killybegs areas.
A Status Yellow wind warning for Wexford and Wicklow has been lifted.
It follows the lifting of a Yellow wind warning for all of Ireland at 9am, and a Status Orange wind warning for Donegal, Leitrim and Sligo at 7am.
Met Éireann Meteorologist Deirdre Lowe said the storm is moving into the North Sea, but much colder temperatures are expected midweek.
"We are expecting a plunge of cold air to come down after a cold front clears through on Wednesday evening and Wednesday night," Ms Lowe said.
"At this stage, we could get some sleet and snow showers and some possible accumulations of snow, particularly in high ground."
"We had gusts of 139km/h at 6pm yesterday, which was very exposed to the sea at Malin Head again at the coast gusted, 234km/h at 1am," Ms Lowe said.
She said that very strong winds, with severe and damaging gusts, combined with very high seas, will lead to wave overtopping along Atlantic coasts, which may result in coastal flooding.

"There's still potential for some very strong winds for the next couple of hours. You could see gusts in excess of 100km/h," she said.
Ms Lowe said the strongest winds yesterday evening, as expected, occurred near to the west and north coast and overnight in Mace Head in Galway.
The latest storm comes after storms Dudley and Eunice and means there will be more risk of fallen debris with three storms so close together, according to Ms Lowe.
"Structures have been weakened, tree roots have been weakened, so there was a lot of fallen trees this morning, particularly in Donegal and Sligo," Ms Lowe added.
