FIVE STOPS ON the Luas red line are closed this morning due to a signalling issue, causing disruption for commuters.

Trams are not running between Belgard and Saggart with Dublin Bus accepting Luas tickets for affected passengers.

Luas has apologised to passengers as a result of the disruption.

The red line is operating as normal from Tallaght to the Point with the green line fully operational according the Luas operator.

A number of commuters who have been waiting at some of the affected stops during peak hours have also complained about further bus delays.
