There are major delays on the M50 in Dublin after multiple collisions on Tuesday morning.
Dublin Fire Brigade attended a seven-vehicle collision near Junction 9 Red Cow in the southbound direction shortly after 7am.
Two lanes were blocked off as a result, leading to tailbacks as far back as J4 Finglas.
The collision has since been moved to the hard shoulder.
In the same direction, there was a collision at J12 Firhouse which is blocking the third lane.
