The M9 is currently closed between Kilcullen and the M7 merge.
Update: The road has been reopened, with traffic moving slowly on the hard shoulder.
A section of the M9 has been closed after a cow made its way onto the motorway.
Two lanes of the M9 are currently closed between Kilcullen and the M7 merge as a result.
Kfm News were made aware of the situation earlier this morning (25 August), with Gardaí recently on the scene in an attempt to clear the animal from the road.
