A boil water notice has been issued to residents in two areas of Co Roscommon after cryptosporidium was discovered in the water supply, writes John Fallon.

Residents have been urged by Roscommon County Council to boil water before consumption after low levels of cryptosporidium were found in the water supply scheme in the county.

Residents in areas such as Rooskey, Elphin, Strokestown and Tarmonbarry are affected in the north, and in the south, in the Athleague, Four Roads, Carrokeeney and Mount Talbot areas.
