Area around Croke Park left without electricity ahead of Beyoncé gig

Carl Kinsella

Girls might run the world but electricity does help the matter quite a bit.

Fans have flocked to Croke Park this evening to see Beyoncé in all her glory.

Unfortunately, those living in and around the stadium aren’t seeing much of anything on their tellies as the Drumcondra area has suffered what ESB has described as a ‘large fault’ on Twitter.

It is believed that almost 5000 homes have been hit by the power outage, though Croke Park itself didn’t seem to suffer.

According to ESB’s live Powercheck, power has been restored – although 500 homes in Rathgar are now also without power.
