Gardaí, NRA urged to act over motorway missile attacks

GARDAÍ and the National Roads Authority (NRA) were yesterday pressed to take action to halt missiles being hurled from flyovers on the country’s longest motorway, the M4.

No injuries were reported but drivers and passengers had miraculous escapes in recent days as building materials and crash barrier beams were dropped on seven passing vehicles in the Midlands.

Gardaí in Kinnegad, Co Westmeath, confirmed they were investigating a series of incidents in the past week along a new stretch of the €150 million motorway which stretches to Kilcock in Co Kildare.
