In the aftermath of Storm Boelo, work to restore power to the remaining homes, farms and business affected by the storm, remains ongoing.
This comes as 41,000 properties lost power on Sunday, after the storm swept across from the Atlantic. By the evening, 5,000 premises were left without electricity. ESB Networks have since said that a number of premises were still without electricity in the north west yesterday afternoon.
Elsewhere, Northern Ireland Electricity Networks confirmed that power was restored to all 12,500 homes affected by Storm Boelo.
Meanwhile, a Status Yellow wind warning which was in place for Donegal and Mayo for today has been cancelled, while the national forecaster has said that today will be mostly cool and blustery, with showers which are set to become widespread.

This comes after five counties were previously hit with a Status Orange weather warning as Storm Boelo took over, with counties such as Kerry, Donegal, Leitrim, Mayo and Sligo all affected.
Nine counties were also hit with a Status Yellow warning, including Clare, Donegal, Galway, Leitrim, Kerry, Limerick, Sligo and Mayo.
Prior to this, Storm Austen hit Ireland overnight, with a Status Yellow warning for rain and wind issued for Leinster and Munster, with two Status Orange rain warnings which were in place in Dublin, Wexford and Wicklow, Cork, Kerry and Waterford also issued, with localised flooding a major issue across the country last week.
