Environment Minister John Gormley T.D. this morning dismissed reports that thousands of homes have been left without water supplies due to the Arctic weather. Speaking in Ranelagh, the Minister said that he had travelled throughout South Dublin over the weekend and saw no evidence of any problem. According to the Minister, "There is no problem with water availability, in fact the opposite is the case. There is more than enough water for everyone to drink, both still and sparkling".

Snowing again here in Cullyhanna though there seems to have been a considerable thaw in the last 12 hours or so.

i think the snow outstayed its welcome now. Just a nuisance, roads blocked and paths lethal,

It was a Northside problem but that doesn't count.

Came home to my house this morning to find water coming out the front door, only to find a burst pipe. Turned the water of and headed to work, looking forward to coming good to a mess tonight.

Such a ridiculous decision in the first place, they must have been expecting 10 foot snow drifts, thousands cut off and major panic breaking out. All over a lock of inches of snow, heaven forbid.

Was the decision not based on lack of salt/grit and the inability to cover all roads.

Irish weather must be heading to Oz. Bloody hell only got to 24C today and as I write it is 19C. No aircon tonight. Very unseasonal, and it rained in Busselton today. Global warming my arse. Sure it was only 42C at 8.45am in Adelaide. And Marble Bar hasn't had a single day over 50C yet. Hot, my eye.
