*Update* The Port Tunnel has now been reopened, according to the AA Roadwatch. They said, "the Port Tunnel has fully reopened both ways as recovery services have dealt with an earlier truck fire. Northbound traffic is just heavy entering the tunnel".

The Dublin Port Tunnel has been closed this morning following a fire.

Major delays are expected this morning after a truck reportedly went on fire in the tunnel. 

Emergency services have been called to the scene and both lanes will be closed until further notice.
