Earlier this morning, AA Roadwatch warned motorists about some sheep that had broken out on to the hard shoulder on the M8 Cork/Dublin Road northbound between J14 Fermoy and J13 Mitchelstown south.
The traffic watchdogs told motorists to "take care".

However, the sheep were safely removed some time later:

We asked AA Roadwatch for some pics of the disruption, but unfortunately they didn't have any to hand. But they did send us this rather nice GIF:
@AmyNoraFitzgibb Hi Amy, no we don't! They've been moved on now anyways. pic.twitter.com/bB3LRiz8Ts
