Barry Kenny said up to 20,000 commuters could be affected as repairs continue after overhead lines were damaged in Raheny.
- On Wednesday, June 24, 2026, Irish Rail warned of major disruption to northside DART and commuter services following overhead line damage in the Raheny to Harmonstown area.
- Corporate Communications Barry Kenny explained that repairs were deferred Tuesday evening to accommodate 20,000 concert-goers leaving Malahide Castle, with only one track remaining operational.
- Kenny stated the damage occurred around 8:30pm Tuesday, adding, "Our crews were not able to commence work until 1.30am and the work is ongoing at the moment."
- Commuters face service cancellations between Malahide, Howth, and Clontarf Road, while Enterprise passengers require bus transfers between Dublin Connolly and Drogheda with Leap cards valid on TFI services.
- Investigations into the cause of the damage are ongoing, and Irish Rail cannot yet confirm when the line will reopen, apologizing for the inconvenience caused.
