Hi Everyone,

Corey from IrishFireside.com has emailed me to let us all know that Clonmel's water has become polluted with animal waste, probably as a result of heavy rains. The cryptosporidium parasite has not made anyone ill but everyone should use bottled water in the area.

If you are staying in the area, no need to panic or change your plans. Just go to the local supermarket and buy some bottled water. It will be an ongoing problem for a minimum of 6 weeks.

You can read more about it:
