Uisce Éireann, formerly Irish Water, have warned people in the north of Dublin to "conserve water" after works caused a switch-off of supply on Saturday night.

A major new pipeline between Ballycoolin Reservoir and Swords is being developed to secure the water supply for over 350,000 customers across the north of the capital.
