I wouldn't risk coming down as the traffic conditions around Dublin are very bad at the moment, We had heavy snow last night and its made travel very difficult, i was sitting here 7 miles from the airport today and even though the light would have been great for taking pics i wouldn't risk the journey, All Buses were canceled today and i reckon tomorrow will be just as bad..... Hers what the AA say...
