Uisce Éireann crews are working to repair a major burst to the wastewater network in Maynooth, Co. Kildare.
Crews have been on the ground since Friday, January 03, with works to this complex repair due to continue until Sunday morning, January 05. There is a risk it may extend beyond Sunday due to external factors, including the current weather warnings.

Uisce Éireann regrets this incident and any inconvenience it may have caused. We are working hard to resolve the situation and ensure that it does not reoccur”.
The Environmental Protection Agency have been consulted regarding the issue and remedial measures are in place to minimise any overflows into River Rye.
