Storm Éowyn: NI Secretary Hilary Benn says there are ‘ways to go’ in clean up

There is still a “way to go” in the clean-up of Storm Éowyn, the Northern Ireland Secretary has said.

Homes have been damaged and about 60,000 properties in Northern Ireland remain without power for a fourth day after high winds battered the UK and Ireland last week.

Specialist engineers have arrived from England to help restore power, but Northern Ireland Electricity (NIE) has warned it could be 3 February before all properties are reconnected.

On a visit to Northern Ireland on Monday, Hilary Benn said the UK government is “working very hard” to help meet the requests for support for Northern Ireland, including through the mutual support aid.
