    Was driving home from work this evening, about 6.20pm, and there was a lot of emergency services activity just beside and on the road after the bridge over the Shannon on the dual carriageway. Anyone know what was going on?

    Either it's some kinda road traffic collision or it's the annual Emergency Services Convention

    Sorry! Was thinking about a different incident when the temp barrier first went up! Have have been told it was a driver who attempted to undertake and then went down over the verge and fell a good few feet! He may have had a couple of beverages to augment his driving!
