They say: “Portlaoise Commuter & Hazelhatch to Grand Canal Dock services remain suspended.
“All Intercity services including Galway/Westport services are back operating subject to delays.”
Jane Cregan of Irish Rail said: “The main problem still exists. We are still working to rectify the central signalling problem that impacted on services this morning.
