They've just announced it will be midweek at the earliest before it's back to normal and there will be "reduced capacity" (in english - massive overcrowding) on all of the evening services because nobody in Irish Rail thought to read the weather forecast so they've got three or four trainsets stuck on the wrong side.
Anybody with any experience of the Sligo line could have seen that it would have been wise to at least make sure that the 7-car ICR unit went no further than Longford on Saturday. This spot floods every year and I knew myself at about lunchtime on Saturday that there would be no trains on Monday morning. I was just hoping (in vain) that somebody at Irish Rail would have the brains to think to avoid getting everything stuck in Sligo.
