Nationwide Hosepipe Ban To Come Into Effect Tomorrow Morning

A nationwide hosepipe ban will come into effect from tomorrow morning.
The measure's already in place in the greater Dublin Area - but Irish Water has decided to extend it to the whole country until the end of the month as supplies remain under pressure from the heatwave.
Using water for non-essential activities is banned under the order and anyone who breaks it could face prosecution or a fine.
Irish Water's Eamon Gallen says they'll send people round to households that consistently ignore the ban:
