HELLO THERE. A very good morning to you and welcome to Tuesday’s commuting liveblog.
We’ll be with you until after 9am as another working day gets underway.
Stick with us for all the latest traffic, travel and weather updates from across the country.
Morning, folks. Spotted anything on your commute? You can get me on catherine@thejournal.ie or tweet me @Chealy_. (Not while driving, obviously.)
Here’s what the weather looks like on this fine Tuesday:
Traffic is already picking up on Dublin‘s South Circular Road:
The M50 also looks busy around Lucan:

Not too far away, the Navan Road is busy outbound after a crash:
Bad news if you’re taking the N40. Expect delays:
Watch out for a breakdown on the N3:
That’s all from me, guys. It’s been a relatively calm morning traffic-wise. Drive safely and come back to us here tomorrow morning for more commuting updates.
