Water restrictions for Killorglin as thousand flock to region for Puck Fair 

Water was restricted in several outlying areas between Killarney and Killorglin, including nearby Milltown, between 11 pm and 7am, to allow reservoirs to replenish themselves

Overnight water restrictions have been put in place in Killorglin as the region copes with high demand caused by thousands of visitors flocking for Puck Fair and low levels in reservoirs

The restrictions are likely to continue until Friday and comes as the country is in the midst of a heatwave. However, the Killorglin town centre — where this year’s King Puck has been installed — is not affected, Irish Water has confirmed.
