Locals in the Dunleer area of County Louth have been affected by a disruption to water supply.

Irish Water has deployed a team to Maryville after reports of a burst water main in the area. This has impacted the water supply to homes and businesses in Maryville, Dunleer and surrounding areas in Co Louth.

Dedicated water service crews have mobilised and repairs are underway and are expected to continue until 6pm this evening, 11 February. Typically, it takes two to three hours following repairs for normal supply to restore to all customers affected by an unplanned outage.
