LAOIS is slowly recovering from the havoc of record-breaking Storm Éowyn, which raged across the county leaving a trail of destruction on Friday.
More than 50 roads across the county were blocked by toppled trees and debris, about 15,000 customers were left without electricity and thousands of residents and businesses had no water supply.
As the clean-up continues this week, Laois County Council has opened a Community Response Support Helpline on 057 8689301 for anyone who needs assistance following the storm. People can also email incidents@laoiscoco.ie for support.
