Throw-in at the All-Ireland hurling semi-final between Limerick and Waterford has been delayed until 5.30pm after a number of bales of hay are understood to have fallen from a lorry causing traffic congestion.
The Limerick team are caught up in the traffic jam at Junction 10 Northbound on the M7 and the extra time is needed to ensure they get to the stadium.
Be careful if driving on the #N7 before the new exit at Kerry Group in Naas. Truck carrying hay hit the bridge and hay everywhere on the road and bits of the bridge fell also. Traffic is mental pic.twitter.com/nqMsVg6Kaj
