Traffic Chaos on Dublin's M50 Due to Vehicle Fire and Protest - Commuters Urged to Avoid Area

An urgent warning has been issued for Cork drivers over a major road closure. Commuters on Dublin's M50 motorway faced delays following a vehicle fire on the busy route. Meanwhile, a protest on the M7 has led to a 'avoid the area' warning. The M50 northbound between J11 Tallaght and J10 Ballymount was affected by a vehicle fire. Dublin Fire Brigade and Gardai are on the scene. Motorists are advised to drive with caution and reduce speed due to reduced visibility from the fire. A protest on the M7 Eastbound between J04 (Rathcoole) and J01 is causing delays and congestion. Motorists are urged to find alternative routes to minimize traffic flow. Traffic congestion is also reported on the M50 Southbound between J3 and J13 Dundrum. Cork drivers are warned of the Jack Lynch Tunnel closure on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights from 9pm to 4am. Bus Eireann has cancelled three services in the Western/Northwestern region. Irish Rail experienced delays with the 06:20 Portlaoise to Heuston service.
