Meanwhile, Uisce Éireann has warned that customers in Gortahork, Falcarragh, and surrounding areas may experience water interruptions, as the power outages have affected the local water treatment plant.

A generator is on site, but the power loss caused mechanical issues at the plant. Uisce Éireann says teams are working as quickly as possible to bring the plant back into production and allow reservoirs to recharge.
