Current status

1. Howth Howth Junction, flooded, use bus change Rahney

2. Dun Laoghaire Dalkey is flooded, no service Dun Laoghaire Bray, again use bus however the N11 is also flooded so most bus routes in the area are not really working very well,

3. Strong risk at high tide, 20:00 ish Sydney Parade Dun Laoghaire will also flood

4. No reports yet of flooding on Maynooth line, however Docklands services would be at risk as well as all services due possible flooding Broombridge

Twitter now reporting that a shuttle Commuter service will operate every 30 mins between Dun Laoghaire and Dalkey. Sounds like a good idea.
