The main Killarney to Cork road at the county bounds is treated and passable with care.

Traffic is now moving, albeit very slowly, in both directions on the N21 after earlier truck slides blocked the road on the Limerick side of Feale Bridge.

They are asking all motorists to delay their journeys by an hour or so if possible, as both visibility and road surfaces should improve.
