The ESB will today attempt to restore power to about 1,500 homes which lost electricity in poor weather conditions yesterday.
Winds of up to 80 m.p.h. caused widespread damage across the country, leaving up to 40,000 homes without electricity for a time and causing havoc with transport timetables.
An ESB spokesman said it would have emergency crews back out at first light this morning to get to the last remaining homes, which were located in isolated parts of counties Carlow, Dublin and Wicklow, as well as the midlands.
Air, ferry, rail and road commuters were also inconvenienced by the storm as most scheduled services were either delayed or cancelled.
Hundreds of UK athletes planning to travel to Dublin for today's marathon were also badly affected. Many were rescheduled to late-departing flights and ferries last night.
