Offaly man finally recovers his car five days after it left the road during Storm Emma

An Offaly man whose car left the road between Cloghan and Ferbane as Storm Emma battered the country last Wednesday has finally retrieved his vehicle.

Alan Walsh, former Editor of the Offaly Express and now Editor of the Longford Leader, posted this on Twitter last week which showed that, thankfully, he was uninjured after this off road adventure.

Alan was finally able to retrieve the car on Sunday as it was not possible to get the car up the bank in the snow that fell from Wednesday through Saturday.
