It is believed a truck has shed its load, with reports of bricks and large stones on the motorway.

Meanwhile, the southbound lanes between Junction 14 (Leopardstown) and Junction 15 (Kilternan) are also covered in debris, with delays in the area.

Motorists should therefore take care and expect delays.
