Iarnród Eireann have informed the public that service has resumed following a tragic incident in Sallins, Co Kildare.

Earlier this afternoon, they informed passengers on Twitter that service to and from Heuston had been suspended.

"All services suspended through Sallins, emergency services attending tragic incident on line north of station. All services to/from Heuston disrupted until further notice," read the initial tweet.

They updated passengers in the hour that followed and confirmed that disruption was ongoing and significant delays should be expected.

However, their recent tweet confirmed that while delays were still to be expected, service had resumed and routes should soon be operating on schedule.

Twitter users have expressed their sympathy over the incident, and received further updates from the company with respect to individual enquiries.

Today is set to be a crucial day for the Irish Rail strikers. 

The Labour Court is due to issue a recommendation for management and unions by this evening.

Iarnród Éireann have held a number of strikes in previous weeks, causing chaos for commuters.

The Trade Union Group will then be meeting on Friday evening to discuss the recommendation. 

Up to 150,000 commuters are left to find alternative means of transport during strike days. 

Iarnród Éireann strikers are calling for a 'no-strings attached' pay rise of 3.75pc per annum.

Three further days of action are planned for next Tuesday November 14, November 23 and December 8.

Each strike is expected to cost the transport company €600,000 in fare revenue and €300,000 in National Transport Authorities penalties.

More on this story as we have it.

Major transport companies nationwide have joined forces in the fight against racism.

Dublin Bus, Iarnród Éireann, Transdev, Local Link bus services and the taxi industry have launched a campaign aimed at tackling racism on the country's public transport services.

Over the next two weeks, commuters can expect to see posters displaying the message "all made of the same stuff,” popping up on various modes of public transport.

Coordinated by the Immigrant Council of Ireland, this is the biggest anti-racism campaign of its kind in Europe.

Brian Killoran, CEO of the Immigrant Council of Ireland, said: “The Immigrant Council is proud to link up with national transport agencies to promote a message of solidarity and zero tolerance towards racism.”

“The public transport system is the perfect partner as it both serves and represents the cultural diversity in Ireland.”

Approximately one in six Dublin Bus employees are from a migrant background and Anne Graham, Chief Executive of Transport for Ireland, say its diverse workforce helps to provide a  "more diverse and more mature" public transport system.

Anyone who witnesses or experiences racism on Ireland's transport is urged to email stopracism@immigrantcouncil.ie

Following an unforeseen suspension of service on Southbound DART and Commuter services earlier today, Iarnród Éireann had initially advised passengers to allow for 25-minute delays today.

Taking to Twitter this morning, they explained that a temporary suspension of service had been put in place after a passenger was taken ill at Tara Street.

Iarnród Éireann have since advised the public that while service has resumed, delays are to be expected.

"Southbound services through Tara Street Station now resuming with delays up to 25 minutes," they initially tweeted.

Following on from this, they have updated passengers and advised the public that delays are currently easing off.

"Delays are easing, up to 15 mins at present. Not expected to impact for rest of day."

Whew!

A nationwide train strike will go ahead as planned on Friday morning, it was confirmed this evening.

The planned industrial action by Irish Rail workers means there will be no DART, Commuter or Inter-City train services between 6am and 9am tomorrow.

A limited service will operate from 9am onward but disruptions should be expected. Certain services prior to 6am are expected to operate as normal.

Talks this evening between Irish Rail and the trade unions SIPTU and NBRU collapsed with no compromise reached.

The train stoppage will likely have knock-on effects later in the day, though the trains should run as normal for the rest of the Bank Holiday Weekend.

A total of 41 Dart services, 45 Dublin Commuter services, 30 Cork Commuter services, and 42 Intercity/regional services are expected to be cancelled during the rush-hour strike tomorrow, with another one threatened for November 6th.

You can find more information here.

Talks over the dispute on payment and productivity took place into the early hours of the morning throughout the week, but no deal to call off the planned action was reached.
