Hard frosts in Donegal, Offaly and the midlands freeze exposed pipes; thawing causes bursts.
Locate the frozen section, open the nearest tap, and gently warm the pipe with towels - never with a naked flame. If it has burst, shut the stopcock.
Typical fix cost in Dundalk: €100-€600. Do not attempt work on live systems - get a licensed specialist on it.
