Frustrations have been highlighted in West Clare following persistent water outages over the Christmas period.
Its been reported that residents in Doonbeg and the surrounding area have experienced intermittent supply disruptions, since the 20th of December between 10am and 8pm.
Uisce Eireann has confirmed essential works will be undertaken until 6pm tomorrow evening, and cited bursts on both December 20th and 23rd as contributing factors to low pressure or outages.
Doonbeg resident Geraldine O’Brien, says the ongoing lack of guaranteed clean water supply is unfair and unjust.

Read fhe full Uisce Eireann statement below:
Watermain bursts prior to the 20th December, followed by a further burst on December 23rd are contributing to low pressure or outages.
The 4km section of aged watermain that is prone to bursts is currently being replaced along the N67 from Doonbeg Village, onto L-2026 and end near Baltard National School.
There is a temporary supply in place until mains rehab works are completed. The temporary supply may limit pressures in some areas, at certain times during the day.
A caretaker has been dispatched today to investigate the network to see if more water can be supplied to areas with low pressure.
