Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp went down today with social media users throughout Ireland and worldwide left frustrated.
All three of the social networks – which belong to Facebook – started having issues at 11am.
Monitoring website downdetector.ie received hundreds of complaints regarding the problems.
Hundreds of people also took to Twitter to report the issues.
Those hoping to log on are being presented with an error message saying the site “can’t be reached”.
As a result, people are unable to also access Facebook Messenger on PCs or laptops.
It is not clear at this stage what the problem is, however normal service did resume for a time on Facebook just after 12pm noon before issues persisted.
Facebook has yet to comment on the outage.
