Electricity restored to all of NI after Storm Boelo

Electricity has been restored to all properties across Northern Ireland after Storm Boelo, Northern Ireland Electricity Networks (NIE) has said.

At the weekend, the storm saw gusts of wind reach almost 80mph in some areas and led to flights and ferries being cancelled.

A yellow weather warning has been issued for Counties Down and Antrim between 18:00 GMT on Monday and 03:00 on Tuesday.

Meanwhile in the Republic of Ireland, an ESB spokesperson said there are "a number of homes, farms and businesses still without electricity" on Monday morning, and that teams are working to restore the power to all properties.

About 5,000 homes, farms and businesses were still without electricity on Sunday evening in the Republic of Ireland.

Although some faults occurred overnight in Northern Ireland, and are showing on NIE's Powercheck tool, external, they are not believed to be storm related.

NIE said around 12,500 properties were without power at one stage after Storm Boelo.

Flights were cancelled at airports across the island of Ireland at the weekend including about 40 flights at Belfast International Airport and about 30 at Dublin Airport.

A spokesperson for Translink said that some bus services were diverted over the weekend due to fallen debris and rail restrictions were put in place in affected areas.

"Stormy conditions also increase 'leaf fall' at this time of year which can impact train services and our infrastructure crews will be deployed to clear any debris potentially blocking railway lines," they added.
