Guinness Tankers Relieve Water Shortage In Dublin

by | 17th, January 2010

NO water in Dublin. Send for the Guinness. AGW writes:

THE Big Freeze and thaw which has gripped then released western Europe in the last three weeks has crippled Dublin’s water supply. The Irish capital has had city-wide bursts and there is an acute water shortage.

The largest water-user in Ireland, Guinness has stepped in and its tankers are delivering water to estates in the city.

Water taps are dry in homes across the whole of Dublin.

Thousands are lining up with a huge variety of containers at the lorries – which usually carry 30,000 litres of the black stuff.

– Many have been disappointed when told it was not a free Guinness delivery.
