In general, Saturday services will operate as normal. Sunday services will operate with some changes on intercity routes.

On Monday, the Dart and Dublin commuter services will operate to a Sunday schedule. 

All other trains will operate to a revised schedule. 

A 50% capacity limit is still in place on all public transport. Pre-booking is mandatory for all intercity Irish Rail routes and people are advised to avoid the busiest times on Dart and commuter services.
