Young family swanning around Mullingar

The Examiner was contacted by a reader about an unusual road user in the Culleen area of Mullingar this morning.

Agnes Moore from Irishtown encountered a traffic disruption of the avian kind: “Such a surprise to meet this swan family out walking on main road at Culleen Mullingar on Sunday morning,” she wrote.

Fortunately everything worked out for the swan family: “Needless to say they were helped back to nearby lake by kind people. Everyone stopped cars to let them by, thanks to all.”
