The first and deputy first ministers have called for Northern Ireland's electricity distribution company to provide compensation to those impacted by Storm Éowyn as 65,000 properties remain without power for a fourth day.

Michelle O'Neill and Emma Little-Pengelly said Northern Ireland Electricity (NIE) Networks should "step up" and provide the support.

Specialist engineers have arrived from England to help restore power, but NIE has warned it could be 3 February before all properties are reconnected.
