Thousands of homes and businesses remain without power this morning after Storm Brendan.

Its strong winds and heavy rain caused power cuts, fallen trees and flooding when it hit yesterday.

26 homes in the midlands still have no electricity - that number peaked at more than 1,400 yesterday afternoon.

The ESB says at the peak of the storm in the afternoon, about 50,000 customers were without power.
