A ‘runaway’ Bus Éireann double decker has badly damaged a sea wall in a popular tourist spot in Co Waterford after it rolled from its parking spot across a public road.

The incident happened in Ardmore some time after the driver had parked the vehicle in a small park near the local church at about 9.45am on Wednesday.
