Dublin Bus, Luas, Iarnród Éireann and Bus Éireann have all issued statements.

Bus Éireann plan to operate a full schedule of services tomorrow (October 17) from 5am, with the exception of services provided under the School Transport Scheme.

This is due to the decision of the Department of Education and Skills that all schools should remain closed tomorrow.

Iarnród Éireann said that there will be some service alterations and capacity reductions tomorrow and that some trains are out of position for normal service operations.

The 05.50am Cork to Dublin Heuston train is cancelled but the 06.15am Cork to Dublin Heuston train will serve the same stops that the 05:50 would have served.

Limerick to Ballybrophy via Nenagh services is also cancelled but bus substitution are in place and the 09.45am Westport to Dublin Heuston train is cancelled.

Capacity has been reduced on the 05.30am, 06.40am and 07.40 Limerick to Dublin services and on the 05.30am, 06.30am and 07.30 Galway to Dublin services.

All other services are expected to operate subject to overnight line inspections.

The Luas have stated that there will be no Red or Green Line services on Tuesday morning.

There was an incident today at the Luas Depot at the Red Cow, Clondalkin and as a result a technical room was damaged because of Hurricane Ophelia.

They said that “it will take time to investigate the damage caused and time to repair. We are not able to give an estimate in relation to the time it will take. Luas will therefore not operate a service on Tuesday morning.

Dublin Bus statement released at 7:10pm states that they expect to resume their services from the first bus tomorrow morning but warned people that it was weather dependent.

All four companies told customers to keep a regular eye out on their respective social media accounts for the very latest updates on travel arrangements tomorrow.
