I was installing a server in Blackrock. I left about 5 and did not get to Blanch till 10.
It was mayhem out there. One thing I will say though is when I got the Phoenix park, it was pretty much not moving so when I found a spot to park I pulled in and walked to Ryans. In to FXB for some food and a half pint of Hooker. That kept me sane. A bit over an hour killed and traffic had marginally died down to the point where cars actually moved somewhat.
I still made it through the park without pressing the accelerator <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="

Oh and I never made it home, gave up at Blanch and stayed the night. Westmeath would have been to far to get to in that traffic.
