    Anyone else stuck in unbelievably bad traffic this evening?

    It's taken me 2 hours to get from Thomas Street in Dublin city centre to Baggot Street. It's much worse than the usual rush hour. Maybe Xmas shopping is adding to the woeful situation?:mad:

    I presume that if the traffic is really bad in Dublin it'll be bad in Cork, Limerick, Galway and other places. Do they still do Operation Freeflow in the run up to Christmas?

    You could have driven to Galway in two hours.
    Might have been a better option.
