One northbound lane of M8 reopens following surface flooding

The head of network operations at Transport Infrastructure Ireland has said that one of the northbound lanes of the M8 has reopened this morning which is “adequate for capacity.”

Kevin O’Rourke told RTÉ radio’s Morning Ireland that it is hoped all northbound lanes will open by later this morning. Heavy rain resulted in surface flooding which closed all lanes between Mitchelstown and Cahir last night.
