With areas of Meath still without power and water in the aftermath of Storm Éowyn, Meath County Council has set up a number of Community Hubs to assist those in difficulty.

These hubs will assist people with basic needs such as water, hot food, phone charging, broadband access, shower and clothes washing facilities etc.

If you need assistance, please contact Meath County Council Customer Service between 8am and 8pm on 046 909 700.

Alternatively, you can email customerservice@meathcoco.ie.

Further updates will be available on the Meath County Council social media channels: https://www.facebook.com/MeathCountyCouncil
