1000 GardaÃ* are at the scene of a collision between a car and a Luas tram at Blackhall Place in Dublin. As a result the Luas red line is only operating between Tallaght and Blackhorse, and Smithfield and the Point.

Wednesday 22nd December: Full services operating with some delays by Corporate Communications

Wednesday 22nd December

Full services are continuing to operate throughout the network across Intercity, DART and Commuter routes.

Some delays may occur where snow is being cleared from points, or there are other weather-related problems, however we will get customers to their destinations.

Customers are also advised to allow extra travel time to get to stations due to poor road and footpath conditions.

Current alterations: M3 Parkway services will operate to and from Connolly Station instead of Docklands.

This website will be updated with any new travel information during the renewed cold spell, primarily through the twitter feed below. Also, please follow us on Twitter at twitter.com/irishrail for up to date info.

I think it's going to be pretty much the same situation as yesterday evening with 1 hour delays to most trains.

When the 6 o'clock train got into Hueston this morning the 8am Portlaoise train was still sitting there at 8.50.

If you can travel early you probably should.
