It's due to continued pressure on supplies caused by the ongoing dry spell.

All areas of the country are facing a hosepipe ban from Friday.

Uisce Éireann is extending a Water Conservation Order nationwide because of continued pressure on supplies caused by the ongoing dry spell.

The ban on using hoses to water gardens, wash cars or fill paddling pools lasts until August 26th at least.

The majority of Kildare was already under a hosepipe ban, while Dublin, South Tipperary, Meath, Wicklow and Wexford were also affected.
