Irish Water working in partnership with Meath County Council are working to repair a burst water main at Abbey Road Duleek which supplies Ratoath and the surrounding areas. Customers in Ratoath, Fairyhouse Road, Kilbride, Curragha and Kilbrew and surrounding areas will have an interruption to their water supply from mid-morning today.
