Traffic is awful all around the country this morning

Heavy traffic and awful weather. Can we just all go back to bed?

THE WEATHER AND heavy volumes are combining to make traffic a nightmare for commuters this morning.

The M50 is particularly badly affected, with motorists being told to avoid the capital’s busiest road altogether.

The problems come after a collision southbound at junction 13 Dundrum.

M50 northbound back to J16 Cherrywood from the collision after J13 Dundrum. It'll take at least an hour to pass. Get off the M50 ASAP.
