DART, Commuter and Intercity services have all been affected.

Irish Rail has notified customers that services all over the country have been subject to delays due to poor rail conditions.

In a notice issued on Wednesday morning, Irish Rail listed the specific services which have been affected, which include services to every province in Ireland.

Irish Rail says that the delays have been caused by restricted signalling introduced due to poor rail conditions and have apologised for any inconvenience caused to passengers.

You can see the list of affected services below and for updates, check out the Irish Rail website.

The Irish Rail notice comes after Luas customers were informed of a disruption to Red Line services due to a failed tram between the Kingswood and Red Cow stops.
