The N11 at Enniscorthy in County Wexford is impassable after the River Slaney burst its banks this morning due to heavy rainfall and a rising tide.
AA Roadwatch posted a warning on Twitter stating that the N11 Dublin to Wexford Road was impassable through Enniscorthy and also blocked both ways at Kyle’s Cross due to flooding.
