Crews are on site and works have commenced. Owing to the complexity of the burst, completing the fix and restoring full service to all impacted customers will take a number of hours.

Areas currently affected include Tralee town, Clogerbrine, Mounthawk, Caherslee, Spa, Churchill, Knockanish, Ballyroe, Blennerville, Curraheen and nearby areas.

John Fitzgerald of Uisce Éireann said: "We understand the inconvenience when a large burst of this nature occurs, and we are working to restore a full water supply as quickly as possible. We thank the community for their support while our works continue."
