SOME EIRCOM FAULTS REMAIN IN GALWAY

Date Published: 05-Jan-2012

Eircom is still working to repair some faults in Galway and the West, reported by customers after severe weather earlier this week.

The company says 1-thousand-500 faults were cleared yesterday.

The remaining faults are centred in Counties Galway, Cork, Donegal, Wexford, Dublin and Cavan - but the company's confident the problems will be resolved shortly.

Meanwhile, pedestrians and cyclists are being urged to take extreme care this morning as high winds continue throughout the country.

Hilly areas in the North and West are the worst affected, however Met Eireann says the gusts are nothing like the storms earlier in the week.
