Severe floods close main route as hundreds of acres of land is submerged

FLOODING at Glenflesk, near Killarney, resulted in the closure of the N22 national primary road between Cork and Tralee, last evening.

All motor traffic and Bus Éireann services between Cork and Tralee were being diverted via Millstreet.

For Cork-bound traffic that meant rejoining the N22 at Macroom and for Kerry-bound traffic rejoining the N22 at the Lissivigeen roundabout, outside Killarney.
