"Repairs are expected to be complete by 3pm. Typically, it takes two to three hours following repairs for normal supply to restore to all customers affected by an unplanned outage."

Rónan Daly, Irish Water said: "The repairs in the Gurteen area are being conducted as quickly as possible to minimise disruption to the community and restore water for all customers.

"We understand the inconvenience unplanned outages can have on customers and we appreciate their patience as we work to repair the burst and return the water supply."
