Kildare County Council crews monitoring the aftermath of Storm Isha

Kildare County Council have outdoor crews tasked to respond to any incidents during Storm Isha. 

The Severe Weather Assessment Team for Kildare County Council is monitoring the aftermath of Storm Isha in conjunction with  Met Eireann and the National Directorate for Fire and Emergency Management.

The public is advised that travelling conditions can be difficult and people should be very careful if they are undertaking any necessary journeys during the storm.

High-sided vehicles, cyclists and motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable.

There is a potential for fallen trees and damage to power lines as a result of the storm. 

The public should be mindful of any equipment stored outdoors and items such as trampolines, garden furniture and any building materials. These should be safely secured to prevent them being affected by any high winds.

Where powerlines are down the public is reminded not to approach any fallen or low-hanging power lines as they may still be live.

All incidents of damaged power lines should be reported to  ESB networks.

The ESB out-of-hours contact number is 1800 372 999. Where power outages occur please use the PowerCheck App to check for reconnection times.
