The car involved in the collision failed to remain at the scene.

An Garda Síochána says it will continue to liaise with businesses and local residents in the key locations.

The tractor was detained and the driver now faces Court.

Gardai are appealing to anyone with information on Denis' whereabouts to make contact with them. 

The man was subsequently charged and is now before the courts.

Road users who may have camera footage are asked to make this footage available to Gardaí.

The road is closed and diversions are in place.

Gardaí are warning members of the public of an increase in the number of incidents of people impersonating Gardaí.
