No one was seriously injured in the incident, according to the Western People.

The pharmacy is still open for business under a limited capacity.

Mayo County Council has advised motorists to avoid unnecessary journeys: “Due to a combination of freezing temperatures and rainfall overnight, roads around the county are treacherous in many areas.”

“Please avoid using roads this morning but exercise extreme caution if travel is necessary.”

“Gritters will continue their work where safe to do so.”
