Dublin commuters and travelers are warned of significant disruption to DART services throughout the upcoming Bank Holiday weekend. Essential engineering and maintenance works are scheduled on the rail line between Dublin Connolly and Bray stations, leading to widespread closures.

From Friday morning until Monday night, 18 stations along this route will be inaccessible. These include Tara Street, Pearse, Grand Canal Dock, Lansdowne Road, Sandymount, Sydney Parade, Booterstown, Blackrock, Seapoint, Salthill and Monkstown, Dรบn Laoghaire, Sandycove and Glasthule, Glenageary, Dalkey, Killiney, Shankill, Woodbrook, and Bray.

DART services will be limited to operating solely between Malahide, Howth, and Dublin Connolly stations during this period. The closures are expected to affect numerous passengers, including those planning to attend events in the city, such as the VHI Women's Mini Marathon. Iarnrรณd ร‰ireann has arranged direct bus services to connect Dublin Connolly station with Greystones to help mitigate the impact. Passengers are strongly advised to consult Iarnrรณd ร‰ireann's website for the most current travel information. Leap cards will remain valid on all Transport for Ireland public transport services in the affected areas, including Dublin Bus and Luas.
