Meanwhile, the ESB says it hopes to restore power to the majority of Galway homes experiencing outages by late tonight.

It's as thousands of homes across the county are now without a service after Storm Ali swept along the west coast.

Claregalway is one of the worst hit areas with nearly 2-thousand-500 homes without power.

Meanwhile, just over 2-thousand-100 homes in Salthill and more than 1-thousand in Tuam North are also experiencing outages.
