    N4 down to one lane just past Enfield, have to drive through around 8 inches.

    N3 closed again at Blanch.

    The traffic cameras are down so cant check like Big Brother.

    All I know is
    "There is a lot of surface water on the M50 at J4 Ballymun in both directions. "

    My advice is to avoid the M50 like the plague. I came up the N3 today at about 8.30pm and could see over the m50 bridge that it is at a standstill Northbound.

    Go through town and come up the N2 through Phibsborough is what I'd recommend.

    Took me over an hour to get from the toll bridge to the Finglas exit, one lane closed northbound.

    M50 open and perfect both ways from Finglas to Toll no issues from M50 to Enfield.

    yes, in Leixlip near the graveyard, after the train station,

    too much water in the road, so I had to drive trough Dunboyne instead.

    M50 was actually grand from N4 slip > Ballymount despite the fact they've closed the outter lane off.
