Emergency services are at the scene of a bus fire on the M7 motorway near Roscrea
A section of the M7 between junction 22 (Roscrea) and junction 21 (Borris-in-Ossorry) is facing delays on Thursday morning due to a bus fire on the road.
The bus is believed to have caught fire whilst travelling with passengers aboard, the cause of the fire is unknown at present but passengers are believed to have evacuated the vehicle without harm.
The road was closed whilst emergency services attended to the blaze, it has since reopened but one lane remains affected so drivers are asked to drive with caution and reduce speed.
