The huge queues continued into Monday in Blanchardstown with the area seeing traffic chaos since the opening of the famous donut shop Krispy Kreme.

Motorists around the centre have been suffered huge delays leaving locals extremely frustrated as they try to work their way past donut queues to get on with their days.

This evening in the midst of the rush hour traffic things went from bad to worse after a car overturned on the Blanchardstown road south.

No person was injured while gardai say they are investigating.

Residents in the apartment blocks around the store have also been kept up at night as people have been beeping their horns into the early hours.

In a video posted by Salim Sanehi to the shop's Facebook page, beeping can be heard at 2am constantly in the early hours of Sunday morning.

Speaking to Dublin Live he said the same thing happened on Monday, and that it was "arguably worse".

He said: "It was on Sunday morning at 2:30am, I posted the video shorty after recording it.

"Same thing happened Monday morning today and I barely got any sleep over it.

"It was arguably worse this morning because people were also chanting and yelling every time someone honked their horn."

Krispy Kreme have promised to tackle the issue saying they are getting signs made and engaging with security in managing the queues.

Earlier today, Ross McNally who frequents in Blanch, said the area around the shopping centre has been jammed ever since it opened on Wednesday.

The chauffeur told Dublin Live: "Basically since it opened the traffic around there has been absolutely nuts.

"No matter what time of day there are cars everywhere queueing for the place.

"I thought it was going to last a day or two but even this morning I passed and the drive-thru is cordoned off because it's full.

"It's just daft, I've heard of people who have been waiting for over an hour, I wouldn't be queueing for that long for a donut.

"It's ridiculous.

"Traffic from the shopping centre is backed up all the way to the motorway(M50) and even Ongar Road.

"I know everyone is not going to Krispy Kreme but I'm sure a big load of them are."

Ross said he himself is having to avoid the area such is the volume of traffic.

He added: "I'm a chauffeur and I'm always driving around here but am just avoiding it at the moment.

"It's like Christmas, it's madness, a lot of people probably aren't even bothering going to the centre to do their shopping because there's just so many cars around."
