UPDATE (2:15pm, Friday, 29th July):
A Carlow County Council spokesperson says Tullow Municipal District has cleaned and removed the worst of the affected areas and has now moved off site. However, the process has caused significant traffic delays which, as well as the ‘busier than normal’ levels usual of Friday afternoon, traffic flows are going to remain slow through Tullow town for a while more until it naturally clears itself of the backlogs.
Earlier story:
A clean-up’s underway in Tullow following what’s been called a ‘significant spillage of slurry’.
It’s on the N81 in the town between AIB/SuperValu and Church Street/Shillelagh Road.
A spokesperson for Carlow County Council’s told KCLR News that Municipal District staff are on route to clean it up and they expect this will take a while to complete.
Road users are asked to be patient while the works are being carried out as it will cause delays. While pedestrians too are urged to take care if crossing the street.
