The road between Newcastle to Ballymacarbry was closed overnight

Locals in parts of Newcastle village, county Tipperary have been left with no phone or internet services after a fallen tree was removed earlier today.

The road connecting Newcastle to Ballymacarbry was closed overnight, and remains closed this evening, due to a fallen tree and electricity cables close to the bridge/county bounds.

Emergency services were on the scene to clear the debris earlier today (Tuesday).

However, the tree took with it a number of telecom and electricity lines.

Crews remain on site just outside of Newcastle attempting to restore these services to the area.
