Work is expected to take approximately three months.

Padraig Farrell, Minor Programme Specialist at Irish Water said: "We are pleased that work is commencing to replace this ageing water main which will provide a more reliable water supply for our customers. Due to the complex location of the water main archaeological excavations were carried out along the route to ensure that the project had minimal impact on the structure of the North Quay wall. Due to the age and condition of the water main customers have been impacted by a number of disruptions over the years."
