DELAYS HAVE EASED on the M50 this morning following three earlier collisions along the motorway.
Emergency services have cleared what AA Roadwatch described as a serious multi-vehicle collision on the road but Gardaí said there were no reports of injuries or casualties yet.
An earlier two-vehicle collision on the M50 southbound at Liffey Bridge has also been cleared.
A third crash occurred at the M50 northbound at junction 12 Firhouse. It has been moved off the road but delays remain almost back to Sandyford, warns AA Roadwatch.

It might be a good idea to warn people about the dangers of flushing wet wipes, make up removal pads etc down the loo. Some estates have an infrastructure built in the sixties and seventies before these things even existed, so the presence of these items in the waste system was never factored into the design and they regularly block up .; It tends to be the same people who have a problem, despite not being the culprits, especially if their home is at the end of a row.
@Liz O’Neill: youz a reading ma mind Lizzy…
also body wipes used by home helpers to look after their clients are often flushed down toilets but they do not dissolve like loo paper and are a huge cause of blockages…. also pouring grease from cooking is a “recipe” for disaster.
@JG: Yes! The dreaded ‘fatbergs’.
Also, if you’re in a hard-water area, stick to glycerine-based hand wash & shower washes. Traditional soap only causes a hard scale buildup which is a chore to remove.
