The harrowing event that was #PowercutinDublin8 happened last night

Yes, it's true.

The biggest tragedy that happened since the Titanic - a devastating power cut - happened out here in Dublin 8. Members of our staff were locked in due to no electricity and the general public had to suffer without the basic necessities - kettles, toasters, and microwaves.

Luckily, our brave soldiers survived. The disaster provided us with a hilarious commentary from Irish comedian, David O'Doherty. His series of tweets literally do not need any introduction and what follows is an incredible look at what Dublin 8 may dissolve to if there were ever an apocalypse...

Power cut in Dublin 8. Society has collapsed. People wearing Orla Keily handbags as helmets. Avocados are the only currency
