This is an operational matter for the Board and Management of ESB as regulated by the Commission for Regulation of Utilities and not one in which I, as Minister, have a statutory function.
My Department did, however, contact ESB and I understand the position to be as follows.
There have been a number of power outages on the medium voltage overhead line in the area recently, which I'm told appear to have been caused by a combination of timber/tree contact, lightning strikes and intermittent electrical faults.
ESB Networks have undertaken mitigating actions, including foot and aerial line inspections, timber/tree cutting along the line, analysis of network protection data to pinpoint fault locations and thermal/infra-red line surveys. This work is ongoing and their local team is endeavouring to improve network performance in the area.
