The crash took place after 8 o’clock this morning and motorists are urged to expect delays if using the route.

Deputy Fitzmaurice was also critical of Garda Commissioner, Drew Harris, claiming he is 'losing the dressing room.'

Gardaí are investigating a reported burglary of O'Connor's Pub and Shop in Tulsk at around 4 o'clock yesterday morning.

Kevin Doran also now leads the Diocese of Achonry, which includes Ballaghaderreen.

It follows a candle-lit vigil held yesterday where hundreds of people attended.

The letter was sent yesterday by solicitor Frank Buttimer, who represents the Farrell family.
