A TV documentary reporting on the impact of Storm Éowyn will air on RTÉ One at 7pm tomorrow (Thursday) evening.

Less than two weeks after the once-in-a-century weather event that shook the nation, a new 30-minute documentary from the RTÉ Documentary Unit will tell of the storm’s catastrophic impact on communities and the resilience of the Irish people who faced it.

Among the contributors is Debbie Conroy from Balla who describes the emotional toll of life without power, as her family struggles to cope in the cold and darkness.

With human interest stories and personal contributions from right across the country, Powerless: The Storm That Shook Ireland will give voice to people suffering in the dark and will reveal the storm’s devastating consequences and the lessons it holds for a changing world.

Moyne Villa Football Club – the Galway Hub, which has become a crucial lifeline, providing warmth, food and essential facilities to those affected by ongoing power outages also features in the programme.

Powerless: The Storm That Shook Ireland airs this Thursday at 7 p.m. on RTÉ One
