Road users warned amid chaos on m50 motorway

They said: 'Make sure you can see far enough ahead, slow down and increase your stopping distance. 'Avoid sudden manoeuvers to reduce the risks of hydroplanning. Accelerate smoothly. Overtaking should be avoided unless absolutely necessary.'

The incident affected the hard shoulder as well as lane 1 and was cleared shortly after 8.30am. Irish Rail issued a similar warning, saying: 'Please take care when there are wet or windy conditions on station platform areas. Keep behind the yellow line.' The train service has confirmed a number of delays on Monday with Maynooth line services operating with 'minor delays' due to flooding on the line at Broombridge. Meanwhile, Bus Eireann have also suffered a number of travel disruptions on Monday, cancelling more than 20 services across Dublin. Among the cancelled routes was the 5.44am Dublin to Dundalk service as well as an early morning Drogheda to Dublin route, as well as another from Dublin to Drogheda.
