Irish Rail services have been hit with some technical issues this morning, leading to delays for several train routes.

Elsewhere, drivers have also been warned by Transport Infrastructure Ireland to take care on the M50, following a multi vehicle collision along the on-slip at Junction 13, according to reports in the Irish Sun.

“Some delays to your journey may occur. When approaching the collision location, drive with caution, reduce your speed and please obey instructions from emergency services", they said in a statement.

They have also warned of loose debris along the road between Junction 28 Castleroy and Ballysimon, stating: “When approaching the hazard area drive with caution and reduce your speed". 

There have have also been reports of vehicles being stopped between Junction Nine Red Cow and Junction 10 Ballymoun, and between Junction Four Donabate and Junction Three Swords on the M1/N1.
