Residents in parts of Dalkey, Co Dublin, were without water yesterday for several hours. This is the fourth time this year the supply has suddenly failed.
The water was off from 7.30 a.m. until 2 p.m. and again from 4 p.m. until 7 p.m. for residents in York Road and Devesci Place. One resident, Ms Betty-Ann Norton, expressed anger at the fact that no council representative was available to answer questions on why or for how long the water would be off.
