Around 5,000 homes and businesses were still left without electricity on Sunday evening after Storm Boelo, according to ESB Networks.

The storm brought strong southwest winds and severe gusts over the weekend, leaving thousands without electricity. 

The northwest and western regions of the country were the most severely impacted by the storm. 

Flight operations at Dublin Airport continued to be impacted by the weather with around 40 flights cancelled as of Sunday evening. 

The National Directorate for Fire and Emergency Management (NDFEM) convened a meeting of the National Severe Weather and Flood Coordination Group on Sunday following Storm Boelo. 

Speaking after the meeting, Keith Leonard, head of the NDFEM, said, “I would urge people along coastal areas to continue to take note of prevailing conditions.

“We will continue to see strong onshore winds, high tides, surge and large waves, which may continue to cause overtopping and coastal flooding along all coasts on Monday into Tuesday,” he added.
