I live in the village of Aughrim, County Wicklow. Over the past 6 to 7 months we have unfortunately had approx 7 faults from the Kilmagig sub station which can affect over 2,000 customers at a time. I would like to know (The Freedom of Information Act 2014 (FOI Act)) as to why this fault is occurring in such high frequency and what does the ESB plan to do in terms of overcoming this issue. It would be beneficial if you can supply the information and register the complaint and query without the use of the FOI Act. 

Twice over the last two weeks we have had to deal with power outages in our areas. It impacts our village businesses to the order that they must close. We have to drive 35 kilometres in total, in order to get warm food. 

As a community we are entitled to know what the cause of these faults is and how and when it will be remedied with an upgrade etc to the Kilmagig station.
