ESB crews are working to restore power to homes across the county this morning following severe weather.
Around 100 homes across the county are without power after Storm Barney battered the county. Last night, there were around 4,000 homes in the county without electricity, and crews worked through the night.
These include around 26 homes in Gort and Kinvara, 23 in Kilnadeema, 12 in Attymon and 14 in Caltra.
Street lighting in some parts of the city is also off this morning as a result of storm damage.
Nationally, 15,000 homes and business are without power, and ESB says it could be 6pm before customers are reconnected.
Spokesperson Bernadine Maloney says crews are likely to be hampered by poor weather today.
Gusts of up to 90 to 100 kilometres an hour are expected across the city and county today.
Gardai are advising motorists to drive with care, as there is a lot of surface water on the roads this morning – especially in the east of the county.
Flooding is also being reported in a number of locations in East Galway, however, there are no road closures at present.
