Cape Clear Islanders call for solution to water supply woes

Residents of Ireland’s most southerly inhabited island have called for a long-term solution to their water supply system as they face in to a fourth day of restrictions.

Cape Clear island’s development co-op, Comharchumann Chléire Teoranta, led the calls last night as plans were being made to finalise a new delivery of water to the island today.

Water is only available from a tanker located at the South Harbour between 9am and 11.30am as the island’s reservoir continues to experience shortages.
