Hundreds of electricity customers are still without power this morning following Storm Agnes.

Around 200 customers in Bantry will have there power back at 1 o clock today, almost 100 customers in Buttevent will get their power back at the same time.

Over 100 electricity customers in the Lee Bridge and Dromcara area won't have power until half past five this evening.

Cleanup operations will be taking place across the affected areas today.

Storm Agnes caused significant travel disruption including the cancellation and diversion of flights at Cork and Kerry Airports and while it was thought the high winds and heavy rain may lead to localised flooding, no flood damage has been reported.

The winds did lead to significant debris including tree branches on the road and road users are being warned that loose branches may still fall from trees this morning.

Council Crews will be working to clear hazards across Munster, Leinster and Galway today and people are being reminded not to approach any fallen trees as they may contain live wires.
