Some homeowners and businesses in Kildare may be experiencing disruptions to their water supply this afternoon due to issues relating to a pump at Slieverue, with crews on site working to resolve the issue.

Kildare County Council has said that 'investigations have found a pump issue at Slieverue which has led to water interruptions/outages in the Slieverue, Tipperkevin & Glenmore areas.'

It is understood that crews are on site and it is hoped that water supply will be restored later this evening.

Motorists are being urged to take care when in the Slieverue area as there may be surface water in some parts due to the works.
