There were reports this morning of traffic delays in Ballon of up to '25 minutes plus' on the first day back to school for the primary school kids at Ballon National School. 

According to AA Roadwatch a stop/go system will be in place on the N80 at Ballon until 6pm tomorrow (August 31) for works. 

@Carlow_Co_Co Traffic delays in Ballon of 25mins plus this morning on the first day back to school for the primary school kids @BallonNs The delays are not because of that doh. It's because the county council thought it a good idea to start road works a few days ago. Intelligent!
