A major water burst is affecting hundreds of homes and businesses

There has been a major water burst in South Inishowen today, according to reports.

Burnfoot, Tooban, Bridgend, Muff, Newtowncunningham and Killea are all affected.

The problem emerged early this morning and is affecting hundreds of homes and businesses.

Irish Water said the issue will be resolved at 6pm for all customers.

Local councillor Jack Murray criticised Irish Water for refusing to give a commitment to upgrade the supply.

"Business, schools, doctors surgeries, homes with elderly people and children are going without water on an almost monthly basis," he said.
