ESB crews worked all through the night to restore power to thousands of Donegal homes and businesses due to outages caused by Storm Arwen.
At its height, more than 4,000 were without power as high winds battered coastal areas in Inishowen and the south of the county.
Earlier this morning, over 1,000 customers were in the dark after an outage in the Convoy area.
Gusts of up to 130 km/h were recorded at Malin Head and the status yellow wind warning for Donegal, Sligo and Mayo ended at 6am this morning.
Gardai have urged motorists to drive with care this morning due to fallen trees and debris on the roads in some areas.
Fallen electricity wires are live and dangerous – never approach or touch them.
Call the ESB emergency service immediately on 1800 372 999 (+353 21 2382410), 999 or 112
