Manx Utilities workers have been helping restore power to homes in Ireland.

A team of engineers from Manx Utilities are back on the Island after helping restore power to thousands of homes in Ireland.

The workers have been helping reconnect homes after Storm Ophelia left almost 400,000 properties without electricity.

The Manx workers were joined by engineers from France, Northern Ireland, England and Wales.

The team also helped fix over 3,000 fallen electricity poles, while the number still without power is now in the low hundreds.
