A bridge in the centre of Leenane collapsed after its arches was swept away following three hours of torrential rain; the second arch collapsed a short time later.

I'm guessing the Srahnalong and other rivers up that way will be working so

Pretty crazy. I saw this in the Irish Times yesterday too. Apparently there was a lot of mud contributing the problem due to land sliding into the river upstream.

Really?

Did it just form? or has it always been there?

Is it these ones by any chance???
Erriff Waves and the Bundorracha Hole. The hole on the Bundorracha is at the very bottom of the run and is tidal. Directions to the two waves on the Erriff are on the comments section of that page.
