Irish Rail has apologised for the inconvenience to customers and will provide updates on their website; on Friday, it was confirmed that Irish Rail staff will go on strike for five days in November and December.
Storm Brian made a significant impact on counties in the west of Ireland on Saturday morning, with spot flooding reported in a number of counties.
Three weather warnings, at least one of which affects every county in the Republic of Ireland, will remain in place until 9pm and 10pm on Saturday night.
