To-day's Irish Times has a report which highlights the truly awful lack of communication from Irish rail yesterday.

As of now (1230pm Wednesday 29th) the Irish Rail website has no updates since yesterday. It isn't clear from the information they provide whether the system is still in manual (ECP) mode or whether the problem has been definitively solved.

The failure to provide timely information is a serious and chronic one, and one wonders what we have an NTA or a Minister for Transport for, if not to seriously take Irish Rail management to task

I believe we are back in 'normal' operation.

These things only tend to go wrong if a change is made, but given the condition of the CTC mainline room in Connolly it wouldn't surprise me if it was equipment failure due to age. The system has been hacked around and added to since 1976. The current computer system dates from 2004.
