Uisce Éireann issues a six-week hosepipe ban for several areas as exceptionally warm weather reduces water availability. Reporting across outlets says the restrictions are introduced to protect public water supplies, with Uisce Éireann warning that supplies are dwindling in the affected regions. The Irish Times and RTE identify areas including Dublin, parts of south Tipperary, and parts of Wicklow and Kildare as among those affected. The Belfast Telegraph and IrishExaminer.com also report that a six-week ban applies to parts of Ireland, aligning with Uisce Éireann’s nationwide guidance for specific locations rather than an all-island blanket measure. IrishExaminer.com adds that the ban runs until late August, reflecting the six-week timeframe mentioned by RTE. The restrictions are designed to limit non-essential water use from hosepipes while authorities monitor supply levels during the hot period.
