Updates on service disruption due to ongoing storm across Ireland.
All services are operating on all routes, but minor delays are to be expected as debris and fallen trees are cleared from lines.

Due to roof damage, Pearse Station is closed to passengers. Trains will run through Pearse but will not stop at the station. Customers are advised to use Tara Street or Grand Canal Dock Stations instead.

This service is delayed by 120 minutes due to a fallen tree on the line and storm damage to a level crossing near Banteer.

Service delayed by 60 minutes due to a fallen tree near Clara.
We will update this notice throughout the day with service information. You can also follow us on twitter @irishrail for service updates.

Irish rail advising people through twitter to secure their trampolines as one caused damage to the overhead powerlines on the DART line earlier. Back running now through.

Appears we had two trampolines with a eye to travel this morning

One in Blackrock (well near the tunnel I think) took a trip this morning

A second one met its end in front of a Waterford Dublin service

No Red Line service Tallaght - Belgard currently due a damaged building

All Irish Rail services running (with some delays)
