Long train delays expected after signalling power fault

The warning comes after “a major signalling issue” in Dublin related to the signalling power supply, which occurred around 12.30pm.

The incident affected all services between Landsowne and Donabate, including DART, Belfast, Northern Commuter, Sligo, Rosslare Maynooth and M3 Parkway/Hazelhatch.

Barry Kenny, Head of Corporate Communications at Iarnród Éireann confirmed that the matter has been fixed.

"We apologise to customers affected," said Mr Kenny.

Power was restored again after an hour and trains started running again. Delays are still in place, but they will ease through the early afternoon.

“The safety of our passengers and staff is our primary concern and services will be moved to platforms once deemed safe to do so,” published Irish Rails’ on its socials.
