Drivers, Luas and bus passengers experiencing major delays in Dublin
There are major delays all over the city this afternoon, so if you're out and about, be very wary.
Traffic lights are out of order on O'Connell Bridge on both sides, which is causing a heavy car build up throughout the North Quays.
AA Roadwatch has reported on Twitter that the lights are out of action due to the road works taking place on the bridge.

There was an accident at the Kylemore stop, and even though the Luas is still operating, it's warning its passengers to expect delays.
It is expected that heavy rain and wind will sweep across the country, and motorists are being warned to be careful on the wet roads.
