She and her husband and five month old baby were stuck on the M8 and then the M7 for a lengthy period, moving just 100m in one hour, she said.
Ms O’Connor said that information about the weather and problems on the roads “did not get out on time”. Had they known of the possibility of the conditions she and her family would not have travelled, she said. However, Mr O’Neill said that Transport Infrastructure Ireland had contacted AA Road watch immediately and there had been alerts on media. He also said that signage had been working.
