Galway Bay fm newsroom – Businesses in Roundstone are becoming increasingly concerned over a water shortage in the area and the impact it's having on tourism. The area has been dealing with low pressure and limited supply in recent weeks, at the height of the tourist season. Irish Water has been called out on a number of occasions since late July, but no solution has been found.

Ann Conneely of Eldon's Hotel said it's having a serious impact on the popular tourist location and visitors are becoming disgruntled.
