Thanks again Maura,

Anybody I contacted was fine, it certainly looks like Inishere escaped unscathed, and it seems like everyone else I know more or less live in towns. Good luck with everything. X

Thanks, Bríd. Galway had been very badly affected, with reconnection dates stretching into February. Those living in towns are mostly okay but even then it can depend on where you live. It's been a difficult period and now people are losing patience, especially those in cold and unlit homes. It will drop to 0°C tonight again.
