Iarnród Éireann wish to advise customers on all routes in Cork and Kerry and between Ennis to Athenry to expect disruption and significant delays to services, due to fallen trees and other debris on railway lines.

The following lines have multiple trees fallen, resulting in services being suspended:

Mallow to Cork

Mallow to Tralee

Cork to Cobh/Midleton (Bus Transfers are being provided for this route, but with limited capacity)

Ennis to Athenry (Bus Transfers are being provided between Ennis and Athenry)
