The road leading to the roundabout at the Four Seasons Hotel in Monaghan Town is closed at present after a lorry overturned.
A crane has now been deployed to clear the incident which happened at around lunchtime today. The lorry overturned on the roundabout between the Four Seasons and Emyvale exits.
