Irish Water hotline not available at weekends

Roads, footpaths and water infrastructure were a focus of this month’s Thurles Templemore Municipal District meeting.

Cllr Ryan pointed to the water rationalisation of the Littleton, Two-Mile-Borris and Horse & Jockey area.

“When do you expect that to take place? There’s a huge amount of outages around Curraheen.

“All that area - the water is out every second week over there.”

Irish Water’s local reps number finishes at 5pm on a Friday evening, and “invariably most of these water outages happen at the weekends.”

“We have to ring up the normal Irish Water line. I’ve rang them a number of times and I’ve been told under GDPR they can’t talk to me,” said Cllr Ryan.

“That’s very difficult. That out-of-hours service should be available at weekends.”
