  "account": "Dublin is experiencing extensive traffic restrictions and security measures due to an EU summit hosted by European leaders in the city's Convention Centre. From today until Friday, significant disruptions are expected as 50 leaders attend meetings and a dinner is held for them.\n\nNorth Wall Quay, access to the Convention Centre, and east/west traffic routes are closed or heavily restricted. Samuel Beckett Bridge will also be closed, diverting north/south traffic. A security cordon surrounds the Convention Centre and National Gallery of Ireland, with barriers and no-parking restrictions.\n\nTraffic and parking restrictions may affect hotels linked to the summit during the morning. Guards have advised residents and businesses about the impact and provided alternative routes. The security measures are expected to affect LUAS services, with no access to the 3Arena and restricted east/west traffic on North Wall Quay. Dublin Airport and Casement Aerodrome will see additional patrols and traffic restrictions, but airport operations remain unaffected.",
