Storm Éowyn: UPDATE on power cuts - nearly a week after hurricane-force winds wreaked havoc across Northern Ireland

Around 16,000 homes across Northern Ireland are still without power - nearly a week on from the devastation caused by Storm Eowyn.

At the height of the unprecedented red-weather alert, nearly 300,000 households were left without electricity.

Meanwhile, NI Water confirmed water supplies were now operating as normal.
