Snow and sleet cause traffic disruption in Limerick

OVERNIGHT snow and sleet in parts of Limerick are causing travel disruption with several reports of early-morning collisions and the cancellation of some public transport services.

A Status Yellow Snow-Ice weather warning, issued by Met Éireann on Wednesday, remains in place until 11pm.

Given the poor road conditions in places, Local Link services serving Limerick towns and villages such as Athea, Carrigkerry, Ballincarry, Croom, Newcastle West, Ballyorgan, Ardpatrick, Effin and Charleville have all been impacted but may resume later this Thursday.

The N21 between Templeglantine and Newcastle West has been closed with Limerick City and County Council reporting that the road is currently impassable at the Barnagh. 

Motorists are also being advised of a collision on the M7 motorway between Junction 26 (Nenagh) and Junction 27 (Birdhill).
