Why can Irish Rail not simply say this rather than posting rubbish about track upgrading. Is this laziness or the usual tendency to obfuscation.

Incidentally passengers arriving in Connolly from Tara Street and Pearse were left to guess where to find onward connections as the ground mounted pillar displays were blank and there was little in the way of public address announcements.

Incidentally the working pis screens at dart and commuter services had no mention of this. Common sense would have notified passengers who were making connections.

The notices at stations were not distinguishable enough

There may also be track works, but yes, letting people know that platforms are closed would be useful.
