Welcome to the traffic blog on this cold Wednesday afternoon, November 8. We'll be bringing you the latest with help from our friends on Dublin City FM.
The M50 is very heavy northbound from Tallaght to Lucan and then there's delays heading toward Dublin Airport. The southbound side has delays at Finglas but otherwise it's moving well until the M11 merge.
Lights are out in Fairview due to an ongoing fault. As a result the traffic lights are out of action on Clontarf Road at the junction with Alfie Byrne Road.
The usual delays are being reported across the city centre including Pearse Street, Tom Clarke Bridge and around the Quays. At the moment there's a fire engine stopped on Bow Lane in the city centre. No further details available.
