ESB: ‘no more power cuts for Clondalkin’ PADRAIG CONLON
Find us on Keep reading, keep recycling – thank you
ANGRY residents in Clondalkin who endured another power cut this week, are hoping ESB have finally sorted things out. Over 2,500 buildings in the local area lost power for almost two hours on Monday afternoon, in the latest incident in a spate of outages this year.
For the past several weeks, local residents have been reporting one large power cut a week. In the first few months of 2019, the area was also hit with four major power cuts in as many months which affected houses, traffic lights and businesses. ESB Networks says the latest large power-outage was caused by an underground cable fault.
In a statement, ESB Networks told Dublin Gazette they are confident there will be no more problems for customers in Clondalkin. “ESB Networks can confirm that approximately 2,500 customers in the Clondalkin area were impacted last Monday (September 30) by a power outage,” a spokesperson said.
