Trouble spots in Dublin this weekend include the one-way system in operation on the Leopardstown Road, where traffic flow is westbound only from White's Cross to the Brewery Road roundabout. Eastbound traffic should divert via Brewery Road.

Weekend traffic will also be affected by roadworks on the N1 at the Five Roads, five miles south of Balbriggan. Gormanston Road in Balbriggan is closed with alternative routes available via Tobers town Road, Flemington Road and Bridgefoot Road.

Diversions will be in place on the Porterstown Road in Clonsilla due to sewer maintenance. Sandyford Road will be reduced to a single lane for ESB works.

Delays can be expected on Conyngham Road as a new roundabout is being constructed at the turn-off for Dublin Zoo.
