Storm Lorenzo finally made its way across Ireland last night.
The Minister for the OPW says Ireland needs to continue to improve the way we prepare for storms.
A clean-up operation is underway today, after Storm Lorenzo hit last night, leaving 2,000 ESB customers without power.
Minister and Longford-Westmeath TD, Kevin 'Boxer' Moran - who's part of the National Emergency Coordination Group - says we're lucky there was no loss of life, and is eager to improve our response to weather warnings and storm preparations in the future:
