Eoghan Murphy: Boil water notices for residents in Dublin and surrounding counties could remain into weekend

Boil water notices for residents in Dublin and in other counties could remain in place into the weekend and beyond, Housing Minister Eoghan Murphy has said.

In the Dáil, Mr Murphy said the boil water notice for 600,000 homes, the largest ever issued, will be temporary but may have to remain in place for a much smaller group of homes for several days and into the bank holiday weekend.
