Macra is criticising the State's response to the crisis.
Enterprise Minister Peter Burke says he understands the disruption Storm Eowyn has caused for many businesses across the country.
The Longford Westmeath TD says his department is closely monitoring the situation, and engaging with the National Emergency Coordination Group, and Local Enterprise Offices, to assess and address immediate challenges.
Approximately 18,000 homes, farms and businesses remain without power this morning and the ESB says technicians from Austria, Finland, France, Britain, Germany and Norway are on the ground, helping to restore connections in the worst affected areas.
Just 12 customers are waiting to be reconnected in the midlands, with all 12 in Moate with an estimated reconnection time of 9pm Thursday.
Vice Chair of the North West Macra, Caoin McCabe, believes the Government should've acted faster:
