Northern Ireland Water has informed us that there will be a short disruption to the water supply on the island today for approximately 10 to 15 minutes, sometime between 12.00 noon and 2.00pm. They apologise for the inconvenience.
Northern Ireland Water has asked the public to reduce their water usage, given the current hot weather conditions. In a statement, they say that "due to the hot weather and people holidaying at home, demand is outstripping supply. We need to ensure everyone has sufficient water for hygiene and daily use."
Murphy's is currently taking orders for coal deliveries to the island. They will come over once they have a full lorry's worth of orders, probably on either Friday 13th or Friday 20th August. Please ring 028 2177 1268 to place your order.
The Resource Centre will close for the Easter holidays tomorrow, Thursday 1st April and will reopen on Monday 12th April. We hope to be able to update soon on a return to more normal access, as conditions allow. In the meantime, Happy Easter to all on Rathlin and beyond, and stay safe.
The Northern Health and Social Care Trust has notified their staff that there is a vaccine scam being attempted by emailing people with false information. The Rathlin nurses have asked us to pass on this important message.
The Manor House has announced the date for their reopening this year. Covid-19 has obviously caused huge changes for businesses on the island, as elsewhere, and we wish the Manor House team all the best with their plans for this year.
