Galway Bay fm newsroom: Gas networks Ireland says progress is being made on solving a major safety issue affecting natural gas customers across Galway and Mayo.
Gas users across Galway could be without supply for up to three days due to a major problem on the network.
For safety reasons a smell is added to domestic natural gas - as the untreated supply is odourless.
The problem arose yesterday when the operator of the Corrib gas terminal in Mayo confirmed that a quantity of odourless gas had entered the network.
The problem affects customers in Galway City, Tuam, Headford, Ballinrobe, Claremorris, Castlebar, Westport, Crossmolina and Ballina.
Customers have been told to turn off their supply at their meter box until further notice.
Gas Networks Ireland Networks Safety Manager Owen Wilson says progress is being made on solving the issue.
