A breakdown on the M8 Cork to Dublin road has been reported northbound, just north of the Dunkettle interchange.

Traffic is reported as slow and motorists are advised to take care on approach.

The report comes after motorists had earlier experienced long tailbacks on the M8 Cork to Dublin road as emergency services dealt with a vehicle on fire northbound near the Junction 18 Glanmire turnoff.

Just after 11am, the official account of the Dunkettle Interchange posted a message on X, the social media site formerly known as Twitter.

"The earlier road traffic incident on the M8 northbound near Junction 18 (Glanmire North) is causing queues back to the Dunkettle Interchange. 

"An alternative route through Glanmire on the R639 is advised," the message read.
