An Garda Síochana in Kilkenny have issued a stark warning to drivers
The Roads Policing Unit of An Garda Síochana prevented a potentially dangerous situation on the outskirts of Kilkenny City in recent days.
A pile of bales were 'tilted sufficiently to make it a huge hazard to other road users,' according to a garda spokesperson.
"The driver was ordered to rectify it immediately and was also issued a FCN for 51a, due consideration of other road users," they continued.
"The consequences of this load becoming dislodged could be catastrophic, especially for a cyclist or pedestrian."
