Temperatures are set to soar later this week.

Irish Water says it's watching closely to see if restrictions will be needed as Ireland heads for another heatwave.

While water levels drop because of the hot weather, demand also tends to increase.

Interventions are already underway at 13 water supplies to ensure they don't run dry, while 60 others are on a watch list amid concern they'll reach critical levels and may need to be restricted.

Tom Cuddy, Head of Operations at Irish Water, says they're hoping they won't have to take actions that will impact on customers.
