A truck is causing train and traffic delays in the city centre after getting stuck under the bridge on Amiens Street.
The accident happened just after 1pm today and the road is closed off in both directions while emergency services work to clear the truck.
Train services are also suspended between Pearse and Connolly, although they’re still up and running on either side of those stations.
