Dublin

Commuters are struggling to get to work this morning as six crashes have occurred across the capital.

Motorists are advised to take "extreme care" while driving in the wet conditions today.

Debris on the M50 caused traffic to slow down southbound between J7 Lucan and J9 Red Cow.

Meanwhile, two crashes occurred on the M1, with the first taking place on the top of M1 southbound at J4 Donabate.

The second was "on the slip road onto M1 southbound at J3 Swords at bad bend," according to AA Roadwatch.

In the city centre, inbound traffic was stopped at the North King Street and Church Street junction, with the traffic provider warning drivers to take a different route.

Back to the M50 and just under an hour ago there was a collision in the right lane of the M50 southbound just before the Lucan turn-off at J7.

Then heading over to the Northside, there was a crash on the Clontarf Road inbound just before the Alfie Byrne Road junction, which is still causing delays in both directions.

Be careful out there, ladies.

U2 took to the Croke Park stage last night for a pretty impressive concert.

And while lovers and hates tweeted about them all day, there's nothing like the tweets from inside the venue.

From the classic songs, to the tri-colour jets, it seems like everyone had a damn good night.

Here are the best tweets from U2's gig last night:

According to emerging reports, the Gardaí are currently investigating claims that an 18-year-old woman was sexually assaulted on Pigeon House Road in Ringsend in Dublin in recent days.

It has been established that a 24-year-old man was arrested yesterday in connection with the alleged assault which reportedly took place last weekend.

A spokesperson for the Gardaí confirmed the investigation, saying: "Gardai at Irishtown are investigating an alleged incident of sexual assault and false imprisonment."

"The alleged incident occurred at a site on the Pigeon House Road in the Ringsend area of Dublin on the 15th and 16th of July.”

Various media outlets report that the alleged victim was subjected to a horrifying ordeal over the course of a number of hours by a man she met while socialising in the city centre.

According to the Irish Examiner, the 24-year-old, who is known to Gardaí, has been released without charge and a file is currently being prepared for the DPP.

The victim raised the alarm at the Donnybrook Garda Station the following day.

Looking to submerge yourself in a festival of science, art and culture rather than one of warm beer, sun burn and performers you've never heard of?

Then look no further than the Festival of Curiosities, which is coming to Dublin this weekend. 

There are tonnes of events happening all over the city in correlation with the fest, and we've picked out a few of our unmissable favourites: 

1. Visit the Dead Zoo after hours

Dublin's Natural History Museum is one of the city's dustiest gems, full of wonder but not always the first choice of venues to frequent. 

The Festival of Curiosity wants to put the Dead Zoo back on the map, with an after hours tour through the historic building. 

The tour will explore the history of the building along with journeying through the collections on July 20 at 17.15pm.

If a funky fashion show is right up your alley then this is the event to check out. 

The show, kicking off in The Chocolate Factory on July 20, is set to be a showcase of Irish design.

Fusing the future with fashion, the designers worked alongside engineers to create garments along the theme of Illuminations, from Darkness to Light.

3. Sleepy City

Always wanted to make the most out of your commute?

The hour-long sleepy city tour promises to show early risers a unique view of their still-slumbering city. 

The walking tour kicks off at the Harcourt Street Luas Stop and from Heuston Station on July 20 at 7am.

If you're about to travel home, avoid the M50 at all costs.

On a good day it's like a car park, but this evening, two separate incidents have taken place, blocking several lanes on the motorway.

On the M50 Northbound, traffic is down to one lane following a car crash.

The collision happened just after the J6 Blanchardstown turn off. Major delays have also been reported as tailbacks occur towards the J7 Lucan turn-off and J9 Red Cow turn-off.

Meanwhile, traffic is also slow on the M1, after a truck lost its load.

According to M50 Dublin Traffic Twitter account, "A truck has shed it's load southbound between J5 Balbriggan and J4 Donabate blocking the middle lane.

"Emergency services on route. Caution advised."

There are also reports of train services being delayed through Connolly Station after a truck ran into Amein's Street Bridge.

Be careful out there.

Una Thurman has been travelling around Ireland and none of us even noticed.

Yep, we didn't figure it out until the actress herself posted a picture on Instagram.

In the snap, Uma is cuddling up with her kids at George's Street restaurant Taste at Rustic.

And if you saw the launch of the restaurant's new menu during the week, then you'll know that she certainly enjoyed some good food.

The Pulp Fiction star captioned the photo: "Dublin Birthday for Maya, the best ever! Master chef at Taste at Rustic."

Maya will play Jo in the flick, while Willa Fitzgerald will play Meg, Annes Elwy will play Beth and Kathryn Newton will take on the role of Amy.
