Yeah, I would guess you had already passed through the green light and then stopped, without realising it, at the red indicating to the traffic behind you... You ended up blocking the traffic turning onto the street who had a green light.
If you have a look on google maps - street view - you can see if you travel through the junction from the direction you mention there's a traffic light on the right hand side only, this is the matching light for the junction back at The Oak/City Hall steps. You had already passed this light at green so you should not have stopped again. As you said, there was no road markings for where to stop because it's not a traffic stop indicator at that point.
For example, at most big junctions or cross roads there is a traffic light right at the junction where you stop, and also across the junction on the opposite side. It's the same here.
So, again, if you look at street view, there's a Dublin Bus stopped at the traffic lights. This is the only point where you need to stop. Once you've passed this point you're through the lights and should keep going. If you move forward on street view, I'm guessing you stopped again at the same point as that small van is as there is a traffic light on the right hand side, but as I said, that's the matching indicator for the traffic behind you and it's not another traffic junction.
Maybe refresh your memory on traffic junction markings and you'll be grand in future.
Safe driving. 0 -

http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/words/learnt-vs-learnedThese are alternative forms of the past tense and past participle of the verb learn. Both are acceptable, but learned is often used in both British English and American English, while learnt is much more common in British English than in American English.
You've learnt two lessons now!

Indeed - yes I do like to think that I know how to spell and use the English language at this stage.
OP - moral of story - always look at the road markings if you are in any doubt.0 -
