Up to 18km tailbacks were reported earlier this morning, with thousands of motorists queueing from Liffey Valley (Junction 2) to Kilcock (Junction 8)

The resulting traffic problems impacted heavily on the surrounding areas, including Lucan village, where many reported traffic coming to a standstill.
