Works are still ongoing to reconnect power and telecommunications following Storm Éowyn.
There are not enough outdoor staff in the ESB or in local authorities, according to a Laois TD.
Independent Brian Stanley is criticising the reliance on private contractors in aiding the repairs in the aftermath of Storm Éowyn.
Works are still ongoing to restore power and telecommunications to homes and businesses around the country after the storm hit almost two weeks ago.
Deputy Stanley says planning standards also need to be examined:
