Gardaí, paramedics and the fire service are currently at the scene but there are no reports of injuries.

It is understood that the Luas was blocking Benburb Street for a period and gardaí are advising motorists to avoid the area, with diversions in place. On Twitter the Luas is reporting delays on the Red Line but said that the line is now fully reopened.
