The Killarney-Cork road is down to one lane as a result and gardaí are organising a diversion through Mallow.

Motorists travelling through Killarney on their way to Cork for the Munster Football Finals are advised to take the N72 Mallow Road.

Gardaí are urging drivers to avoid the area, just before the Loo Bridge turnoff.
