Five of the animals got onto the carriageway close to the Red Cow roundabout, reputed to be the busiest junction in Ireland.
The northbound off-ramp at the junction was closed for a time as police officers rounded-up the animals and got them onto trucks.
The llamas came from a circus. Circus owner Alexander Scholl said his animals bolted when fuel delivery men left a gate open.
He rejected rival circus owners' claims that he deliberately allowed the llamas out to gain attention for his Circus Sydney, which previously has lost elephants and a wallaby.
He said: "There's no way this was a publicity stunt. If these llamas hit a car and killed somebody, who are they going to arrest, me or the llamas?"
