Video: A small sink hole is causing some big traffic problems in Dublin this evening

Of all the things to cause mayhem.

If you're like JOE and have frequently worked during the evenings in Dublin then you might have some experience when it comes to dealing with the gridlocked traffic on Dame Street near Trinity College. Then again, maybe you're one of those people that get out of your office while the sun is still shining. Oh how we envy you. We're more familiar with seeing a traffic jam caused by a crash or bumper-to-bumper traffic but it seems that a tiny sinkhole has been playing major havoc with Dublin commuters. If you're travelling through the city centre of Dublin then please note that the Garda have sectioned off a part of the street as you can see here.

Here's some footage from the scene that shows the extent of the blockage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVlzQYdgG1Y&feature=youtu.be
