I have no electricity since storm Eowyn. It's been 10 days now. I have received FIVE revised estimated restoration time messages so far. Each time, it's being pushed out by 24 hrs. I have no doubt that I will receive another of these messages this evening. I have rang the 1800372999 helpline numerous times this week. Nobody is able to tell me if or when I'll get the power back. All I get are the annoying messages. It's not a big fault, as it's just my own house. All my neighbours have had theirs restored last Sunday. Can you please give me the EXACT REASONS (in writing) for this continuous, deliberate delay? I would also like to know how many customers in rural areas of Co. Offaly are still without power as of today, 2nd of February.
