Traffic restrictions remain in place around Dublin city on the second day of meetings involving European political leaders.

However, gardaĆ­ said they are committed to removing them as soon as operationally possible this evening to return traffic flows to normal.

Following yesterday’s European Political Community meeting at the Convention Centre, there is an informal meeting of EU Heads of State or Government leaders at the same venue today.

A security cordon around the Convention Centre remains in place until later tonight, with the Samuel Beckett Bridge still closed and no traffic or pedestrians allowed to access North Wall Quay.

The Luas Red Line is still not going to the 3Arena stop, but a restricted number of trams will operate after the Niall Horan concert there tonight.

Restrictions will also continue around hotels associated with the summits.

Motorcades will bring more rolling road closures within the city between 9am and 11am.

Closures between the city and both Dublin Airport and Baldonnel Aerodrome are also in place from 1pm to 8pm, so extra time is still required for those needing to get to Dublin Airport terminals.

After a four-day security operation, the largest the country has ever seen, all restrictions are expected to be removed in time for the weekend.
