Watch: RTÉ assesses damage to Cork offices from burst water mains

Parliament St was closed off for some time and diversions were put in place while the incident was dealt it. The burst has left a large crater in the road surface, and the left lane will remain closed off for some time

RTÉ says it is assessing the damage to its Cork offices after a major pipe burst left several buildings badly damaged, and left large parts of the city without water.

It was one of two burst pipe incidents that occurred in the city at around the same time on Wednesday.
