The country's largest ever boil water notice has been lifted.
600,000 people in Dublin, Meath and Kildare haven't been able to drink their tap water since a treatment issue on Monday.
Boil Water Notice for customers supplied by the Leixlip Water Treatment Plant has been lifted with immediate effect. We are grateful to our partners in @Fingalcoco who worked with us to provide all necessary detail to the HSE & EPA to facilitate the lifting of this notice. pic.twitter.com/WlipJSCoQg

Tests have shown the water is now safe to drink again.
A report found Irish Water failed to respond to a number of alarms, warning it there was a problem at its plant in Leixlip.
