A POWER CUT in Dublin City centre is affecting almost 2,500 customers and caused a brief delay in proceedings in the Ðáil.

ESB Networks say the disruption is down to four unscheduled faults in the Dublin 8 and Dublin 2 areas. They are affecting about 2,380 customers.

The faults are being worked on by technicians and it is estimated that they will all be resolved before 8pm.

Brief power cut in the #Dail chamber prompts Sean Sherlock to remark: "The lights went out on Gerry Adams."
