A bridge in Co. Wexford has been forced to close after a tractor ploughed through its protective steel railing.

The accident occurred last night (Thursday, February 23) at the single-lane Edermine Bridge between Wexford Town and Enniscorthy.

According to Wexford County Councillor Cathal Byrne (Fine Gael), the bridge will be closed for a number of days as council engineers inspect the important crossing point for structural damage.
