THE HOSEPIPE BAN that is currently in place across six counties will be extended nationwide from Friday.
This expands a previous ban currently in place for Dublin, south Tipperary and parts of Kildare, Meath, Wexford and Wicklow. It will run until Wednesday 26 August.
Uisce Éireann has said that several groundwater sources across the country are showing signs of stress, with reduced or no yields. For 53 out of 700 (7.5%) of water supplies, nighttime restrictions are also in place.

telling people to take shorter showers, while the gen-ai data centres keep guzzling our water supply is WILD 😤

It's almost as if we have a government that prioritises capitalists over actual people living here 🤔

it's so weird tho, because they live here too! they have to know that they can't eat/drink/breathe money once they finish destroying the environment. fixing things would benefit them too! 🤦
