    its not quite a standstill but its heavy enough. By 8am, you should allow yourself 30 mins to get from Blanchardstown shopping centre to Phibsboro (I don't know what the n3 is like after that).

    Tune your radio to 103.2 Dublin City FM and take advice from them. I live in Blanch and drive to the south city centre for work. Depending on what I've heard before I leave work I might go down the Navan Road, Blackhorse Avenue or through the park. I sometimes even take the Ratoath road around the back of Finglas/Cabra if the N3 is particularly bad.

    Getting down the quays there are also options as to where to enter them - Parkgate St, Queen St, Church St, Capel St or even skip them altogether and use the IFSC area. It really does depend on traffic...I could drive 5 different routes every week if it's bad in one area. I'd be lost without LiveDrive on Dublin City FM.

    You should allow at least an hour, and if the forecast is bad the night before...an extra 20 mins plus.
