Restrictions eased but disruption to continue

NIGHT-TIME water restrictions have been lifted in Cork city but thousands of households across the country will continue to experience disruption until the weekend at least.

Cork City Council announced yesterday morning that it is lifting its night-time restrictions completely.

At the peak of the big freeze water crisis, restriction were in place in 15 parts of the city — mostly on the northside —but those areas were reduced to just five last weekend.
