As Mark pointed out, this has been going back for some time on the Maynooth line. It appears that whenever they do anything around Clonsilla the signalling dies a couple of times over the next couple of weeks. I presume the work on Sunday was to plumb in the new platform in Clonsilla.
One thing I noticed was that they did appear to handle the situation a bit better than usual. They had hourly services running from Docklands and there was a hand-written board with details placed in the middle of the concourse in Connolly. They also used a longer train for the 1805 to Longford and made it a stopping service as they had cancelled some trains.
I still ended up about 35 minutes late but if I had been about two minutes earlier at Connolly I probably would have been on-time or earlier as they had just closed the platform gate on the 1715 to Longford.
