The All-Ireland hurling semi-final between Limerick and Waterford has been pushed back after a number of hay bales were shed on the M7 leading to traffic delays. Fans of rival Limerick and Waterford teams were delayed in a 10 kilometre tailback caused by the incident which is believed to have happened after a truck passed underneath a fly-over on the M7 near Naas. It was decided that the semi-final throw-in be delayed by 30 minutes to 5.30pm. Truck carrying hay hit the bridge and hay everywhere on the road and bits of the bridge fell also. Then there was a truck carrying hay and it shed its load and that just created bedlam, it brought everything down to one lane,” McKenna outlined.
