Disruption in Rathmines after building collapses

The partial collapse of a building in the Dublin suburb of Rathmines this afternoon caused major traffic disruption.

Gardai were forced to close the Upper Rathmines Road to all traffic after the side wall of a TV shop collapsed while work was being carried out on a site next to the premises.

Nobody was injured in the incident and the road has been re-opened.
