ESB deploy helicopters to patrol dangerous Storm Isha aftermath

Warnings of low-flying helicopters have been issued for the public to be aware of.

ESB Networks has deployed some patrol units to take to the skies and assess any potential damage done to electricity poles or wires in the aftermath of Storm Isha. 

It mainly affects the west of Ireland, they have stated, and may disrupt livestock.

Storm Isha left disruption in its wake, with tens of thousands of households without power. The state-owned ESB says that it may take up to a couple of days for all customers without supply to get their electricity restored.

Many parts of the country saw the affects of the turbulent weather, with a national clean-up taking place this Monday. 

There is more extreme weather to come, as Storm Jocelyn makes its approach towards Ireland, becoming the tenth named storm of the season. It brings with it orange level wind warnings for Donegal, Mayo and Galway and yellow wind warnings in Leitrim, Sligo, Clare, Kerry, Leinster, Cavan, Monaghan, Cork, Limerick, Tipperary, Waterford and Roscommon.
