Longford County Council is reporting, as of 4pm on Saturday, January 25, that most regional roads are passable as council crews continue the massive Storm Éowyn clean up
Roads crews have been working since first light clearing fallen trees and debris from roads, with all National Roads passable since early afternoon yesterday, Friday, 24 January.
All Regional Roads are passable, except for the R198 which is closed North of Gaigue Cross. Crews are waiting for ESB assistance to deal with a low-lying cable.
The R397 near Kenagh is currently open but will be closed later today for a short duration to facilitate ESB works.
A lot of local roads are closed, however, they are being dealt with on a priority basis and as resources permit.
Mobile phone coverage continues to be a major issue.
Salting routes will be prioritised.
Roads crews will continue to work today and tomorrow, Sunday, January 26.
Longford Civil Defence will be assisting our road crews.
