Sandymount residents are "spitting thumb tacks" in rage over traffic diversions caused by water works on a major road.
The works on Strand Road, which are being carried out by Irish Water and Dublin City Council, have resulted in the south bound lane being closed from Sean Moore Road to the Merrion Gates. Three kilometres of 100-year-old arterial water mains will be replaced due to the age and fragility of the pipes.
The works are expected to be completed in summer 2023. It is estimated 80,000 people rely on these mains for water in the eastern area of Dublin.
