Over 1,400 residents are currently without power in one County Kildare region this morning (July 30).

The Electricity Supply Board (ESB) is currently working to restore power to the four affected sites.

Three of the affected sites are located in Newbridge, while one is located just outside of the town, according to the ESB Power Check website.

Estimated restore times currently vary, with the ESB saying that one area is expected to have power restored by 10.15am today, while another area is expected to have power restored by 11am.

The ESB further said: "We apologise for the loss of supply.

"We are currently working to repair a fault affecting your premises and will restore power as quickly as possible."

UPDATE — 12.17pm — Power has since been restored to the affected areas.
