Drive with caution

Horse loose on N63 Roscommon to Longford road

Horse running loose on the N63

Motorists are asked to drive with caution while attempts are being made to restrain a horse on the N63.

It appears the horse broke out of its enclosure and was running loose on a section of road, about ten minutes outside Lanesboro on the Roscommon side. 

In the past hour, traffic was at a standstill for a short time while a lorry driver and others attempted to stop the horse.

Motorists are still advised to drive with caution however as a second horse may also be on the road due to the opening in the roadside enclosure.
