Section of N59 fully reopened following forest fire



The N59 Sligo to Ballina road has now fully reopened.

It had been reduced to one lane at Culleens due to smoke from a forest fire in the area.

Both Sligo and Mayo Fire Services were battling it since last Wednesday.

A number of gorse and forest fires took place over the last week and it’s hoped the recent break in the weather will stop any further ones developing.
