Storm Éowyn Leaves Many Kildare Residents Without Mobile And Broadbrand

A total of 3,000 service-poles were knocked down across the country

It's emerged over 3,000 service-poles were knocked down by Storm Éowyn.

35 per cent of mobile phone users in Kildare and other counties had their reception interrupted, with 10 per cent of customers without fixed services.

The updates on the storm followed a meeting between the Arts and Sports Minister and CEOs of mobile phone and broadband operators yesterday.

Minister Patrick O'Donovan says more steps will be taken to reduce the danger of trees during future storms.
