  1. Jesus the poor man. Awful for his son to have that as a last memory.

  2. Whats the government meant to do? If you live on machine assistance then you should be prepared with generators and batteries. How can you stop power from going out? Cutting down trees would cause uproar and even if you did then the poles themselves will still fall and the cables will need to be replaced.

  3. Dont ESB have people that are high risk sign up to a watch your high risk list thats put on a priority? Shame there wasnt a back up generator or something

  4. Just have a gas turbine generators. Why is this place to stupid

  5. Do hospitals in Ireland, not have backup generators??

  6. In the article she says the man died in front of their adult son.

    How’s that power outage related?

    Sleep apnea is forgetting to breathe in your sleep. The cpap machines they wear at night keep air moving irrespective of your body doing it.

    Was the son watching him sleep and didn’t shake him awake?

  7. Anyone else find the photos accompanying this article weird?
