Not while driving, obviously.

First things first: the weather. Met Éireann says it’s gonna be a wet day.

Getting the train between Dublin and Belfast today? Here’s some good news for you.

Here’s how things are looking in Dublin:

  • Inbound on the Swords Road is busy from Collins Ave to Drumcondra
  • The N4 Lucan Rd is very busy inbound from after the M50 Interchange to Palmerstown Bypass.
  • The Navan Road inbound is slow from after the railway bridge to the Ashtown roundabout
  • There are delays from Ranelagh to Leeson Street bridge along the Grand Canal eastbound
  • Traffic is heavy on Guild St southbound from the Seville Place junction to Samuel Beckett bridge
  • There are no major delays around Dublin city centre or the M50

In Donegal, the Cullavaney Road is closed between Raphoe and Convoy as council staff deal with a fallen tree.

In Kerry, traffic is down to one lane on the N70 Iveragh Road in Killorglin for works. Diversions are in place.

In Cork, a crash is partially blocking the R585 Crookstown/Ballylickey Road between Crookstown and Béal na Bláth.

There are southbound delays now on the M50 from J7 Lucan to J9 Red Cow. Northbound traffic is moving well.
