Just when you thought it was safe to go to work again… you realise that the trains won't be running tomorrow morning.

Yup, a total of 41 Dart services, 45 Dublin Commuter services, 30 Cork Commuter services, and 42 Intercity/regional services will in all likelihood be cancelled (unless last-minute crises talks prove successful). Gulp!

Taking place from 6am to 9am as a result of industrial action by drivers, it's sure to cause commuters – to say the least – plenty of Friday mayhem. 

Trains that leave before the planned strike at 6am will continue to travel as normal, Irish Rail has confirmed. 

During a similar strike held last month, disgruntled passengers may remember that Hailo had one of its busiest mornings ever as thousands sought out alternative ways to get to work and college.

Today, the taxi company was encouraging anyone hitting the road before 9am tomorrow to plan their journey carefully.

From 7am to 10am it's also offering a helpful 20 percent off journeys – an incentive which proved hugely popular last time.

"The 20 percent discount codes will be displayed on our Facebook and Twitter profiles as soon as they are live," it added in a statement.

In addition, Dublin Bus, Bus Éireann and Luas tram services will all be operating normally – albeit at full capacity so make sure to allow extra time for our trip.

There's some very bad news if you're planning on heading home on the train for the Bank Holiday next weekend.

Iarnród Éireann has said that SIPTU and NBRU train drivers will strike next Friday, October 23 and the following Friday, November 6, after talks between the unions and the Workplace Relations Commission fell apart.

The discussions ran into the early hours of this morning but still no agreements were made.

Iarnród Éireann said in a statement: "As a result, the threatened industrial action by drivers on Friday 23 October and Friday 6 November seems set to take place, and we apologise to customers for the disruption which would result."

"The industrial action by SIPTU and NBRU train drivers will see no train services (DART, Commuter or Intercity) operate between 06.00hrs and 09.00hrs on Friday 23 October and Friday 6 November, and the likelihood of significant disruption beyond these times due to the knock-on effect of this strike action."

So, it seems you might have to find alternative transport or stay put for the Bank Holiday!

The Irish postal service has issued a warning today advising customers not to send any letters or parcels until further notice.

A strike today will affect An Post’s mail sorting centres across the country, although Post Office retail services will not be affected.

Post will also not be collected from business today.

Staff of IO Systems management, the company responsible for maintaining mail sorting equipment at the sorting centres, are striking today over pay and rostering issues.

A new rostering arrangement could see a pay cut of as much as 22% for some staff, with many placed on non-rotating night shifts for the rest of their time at the company.

The strike is expected to last for two weeks, and for now An Post are warning people not to post anything until advised otherwise.

A statement from the postal service said today: "An Post greatly regrets this inconvenience to our customers and urges the parties involved to resolve their differences through the normal industrial relations procedures."
