Why did the monkey want to cross the road?

DRIVERS on the road through Kilmacanogue thought they were going bananas.

They normally expect the long arm of the law lurking in the ditches of the roadside to detect their misdemeanours but instead the long tail of a monkey sent them into a panic.

The three-year-old Capuchin monkey from South America went a little nuts and poked a hole in the enclosure she shared with her brother and escaped from the Copsewood Aviary.
