AA Roadwatch has further clarified “A stop/go system is now in place on Milltown Rd, as emergency services deal with a building fire. This has caused extremely heavy traffic to build up on routes in the area, including Churchtown Rd, Dundrum Rd and Milltown Rd itself – especially coming from Dartry. Avoid the area if you can.”

So far, there is no update from emergency services as to whether the house is occupied, or whether there have been any injuries as a result of the fire.
