Strangely there were special trains as follows on Friday

00:05 Dundalk (busy)
00:07 Howth
00:10 Bray (I was aboard, empty 100 on a 8 coach)
00:15 Maynooth (busy)
00:30 Cork/Limerick (Fri/Sat/Sun)

I can't fault that, I can fault not bring told in time but the trains did run

Last Luas should be 00:30 Fri and Sat, most of the stick seems to directed at the RPA and Connex who failed to provide Luas services for reasons unknown, Irish Rail had not problem lugging them back in

The suicide piece is heart breaking, but the piece didn't blame IE. There is a counselling program and if the driver doesn't want to drive again there are options for a desk based or as a supervisor job. Its a part of the job and there is little anyone can do to prevent it
