VIRGIN MEDIA HAS said it is working to restore internet to broadband customers after a number of outages were reported in various locations across the country, including Dublin, Cork and Galway.

Several customers have taken to Twitter to vent their frustration, with some saying their phone and TV services have also been affected.

In response, Virgin Media Ireland’s official Twitter account has said fixing the problem is a “top priority” and “everyone here is working to get it back online”.

These things do happen unfortunately. Please know that we are doing everything in our power to get this sorted ASAP.

UPC Ireland rebranded as Virgin Media in October 2015.
