    Dublin 8. It was soon followed by ambulance or police sirens, on top of all the home alarms tripped by the power cut that'll be going off for the next few hours.

    The lcd tv started flickering before I leapt up to switch it off, wonder if it's safe to leave it on now that the power seems to be restored.

    The power was off for a few minutes ~ I didn't hear any police or ambulance sirens ~ just the usual alarm ones ~ it looks as if it was just a temporary outage.

    Was a disaster earlier, going through the lights at the SCR/Donore Ave junction and then again on Cork St. Not a guard in sight.
