Call to heed travel advice as restrictions on movement ease

Traffic on the N40 north of the Jack Lynch Tunnel in Cork, earlier in the month. Levels are expected to rise as movement restrictions are eased from the 5km non-essential limit.

Car trouble could be a nuisance for unprepared motorists ahead of the ease in restrictions on movement tomorrow, while bus users have been urged to plan only essential journeys.

That is according to motoring groups and public transport chiefs ahead of the expected surge in both road and bus usage, now that the 5km limit for non-essential journeys has been extended.
