A driver was safely escorted off the M9 on Sunday night after being spotted travelling the wrong way near Danesfort.

As we reported on air yesterday, Thomastown and Kilkenny Roads Policing Units responded to the incident, with no collisions reported.

Gardaí say incidents like this can involve tired drivers, tourists or those less comfortable with motorway driving, and are urging people to consider whether such stretches are suitable for them.
