The aftermath of Storm Éowyn is still being felt by most homes across the Northern Sound region, with many still without power and water.
ESB networks have confirmed there are 40,000 homes and businesses without power across Cavan and Monaghan.
This is down on the 55,000 that were affected by the power outages at the height of Storm Éowyn on Friday morning.
Co. Cavan is the worst affected, with close to 9,000 power outages reported by the ESB, particularly in the Virginia and Cavan Town areas, where there are 6,000 power outages in the two areas combined.
There are fewer customers still impacted in Co. Monaghan, but a total of 4,320 are yet to have their electricity supply restored, which is estimated to be mostly restored by the end of January.
Cllr Aine Smith says the wider Cavan Town, West Cavan area has been majorly impacted by Storm Éowyn.
Mullagh Councillor Shane P O'Reilly says the situation is still bleak in east Cavan.
Monaghan Councillor Pauric Clerkin has been paying tribute to the many workers and members of the community that had assisted to date with the clean up following Storm Éowyn.
Cathaoirleach Paul Gibbons says Monaghan County Council is providing support to those impacted.
