M50 reopens after fire extinguished by emergency services

Truck carrying hay caught fire on motorway this evening

Northbound lanes of the M50 have reopened tonight at Blanchardstown after being closed for several hours after a lorry carrying hay caught fire earlier today.

AA Roadwatch had been reporting delays of up to two hours between junction 12 Firhouse and junction 6 Blanchardstown, but tailbacks have now cleared.
