Power cut leaves IFSC in the dark

A POWER CUT in Dublin’s city centre left large parts of the IFSC without power for a brief period this afternoon.

ESB said a fault in a sub-station on Sheriff Street in Dublin’s inner city at around 12.30pm caused a power cut in the area, including the financial services district. All customers had power restored within fifteen minutes of the fault taking place. The ESB is investigating the cause of the incident.
