He added: “I warmly welcome the launch of this simple and useful communications tool which will enable the public to stay informed of important issues affecting their relevant area of the county.

Mr. McMahon added: “The events covered by the alert system include scheduled road works and closures, major road accidents and incidents, floods, severe weather warnings, boil water notices, and community and sporting events.

Accordingly, we would encourage members of the public to register for these free alerts at www.clarecoco.ie and enter their details.”
