The European Union is sending 17 generators to Ireland to help deal with the fallout from Storm Éowyn.

It comes as the ESB said 168,000 are still without power, with some likely to be without power into next week. This marks a significant reduction from the initial 768,000 people who were affected by power outages on Friday when the storm first hit.
