ROAD closures and Irish Rail delays are causing “significant disruptions” for Irish commuters this morning.
And Gardai have issued an alert following a three-vehicle collision on the M50 yesterday.
Posting on social media Gardai revealed roadside testing revealed a driver flagged up a positive result for three different drugs.
The driver was also uninsured and was arrested at the scene.
Gardai said: “Our Roads Policing Unit from Dublin Castle and emergency services were called to attend the scene of a three-vehicle collision on the M50 late yesterday afternoon which involved this car.
“Its driver was uninsured and tested positive for cocaine, opiates and benzos. Very fortunately there were no injuries reported.
“This driver was arrested and a blood sample taken back at the Garda Station – this sample is now subject to further analysis. Its result will determine the next step.”
And separately this morning, congestion on the M50 southbound is causing delays for motorists.
It comes after a crash on the N2 inbound slip to the M50 Southbound held up traffic earlier today.
Posting on social media LiveDrive said: “There is a collision on the N2 inbound slip to the M50 Southbound. Services are dealing with a vehicle in the right lane, while another large vehicle is a few meters further up in the left lane.”
The incident has been cleared in the past hour.
And the M50 is not the only road causing major delays for road users this morning.
In Cork, the City Council have delivered a warning to local motorists over road flooding.
Monaghan Road and Centre Park Road remain closed today after closing last night due to the flooding.
Irish Water are working to resolve the issue.
Posting on X, formerly Twitter, Cork City Council said: “Please note that Monaghan Road and Centre Park Road are flooded and closed this morning with local access only.
“Irish Water is working to resolve the issue. We thank you for your cooperation.”
And public transport users are not spared from travel disruptions this morning.
Irish Rail passengers are facing more delays and cancellations due to power outages impacting level crossings.
Rail bosses warned this morning Galway services would be “heavily disrupted” thanks to a power fault in Athenry but have since suspended services completely.
The 7.30am Galway to Heuston train was held in Oranmore, and the 5.45am Heuston to Galway service was held at Woodlawn.
In a new update in the past few minutes they said: “Services remain suspended through Athenry due to power issues with signalling equipment. Staff are working to rectify this matter.”
And Wesport services are facing over 60 minute delays due to a power outage.
Irish Rail warned: “Significant disruptions of up to +60mins to Westport services due to power supply issues at level crossings on the line.”
Passengers onboard the delayed trains have taken to social media to voice their frustrations at the situation.
Some are struggling to make it to work while others will miss medical appointments.
Customers also report no heat or wifi onboard.
One person wrote: “How do I apply for a refund? I have an appointment with the Dublin Dental hospital that I’m not going to make.”
Another said: “And yet your website is showing that train from galway running on time with no delays. Disgraceful lack of communication to passengers in stations who don’t know what’s going on.”
Another person added: “Get a few buses to craughwell to let people get to work.”
And another queried: “Any update on when we will be leaving Woodlawn? No heating in carriage B, on board Wi-Fi also not working?”
