Irish Rail have warned customers travelling from Heuston Station this bank holiday weekend of planned diversions. Friday May 3, Saturday May 4 and Sunday May 5 will see multiple diversions and a series of bus transfers to and from Heuston Station as essential track maintenance work is carried out. Four services to and from Limerick to Heuston have also been cancelled on Saturday with one service from Heuston to Cork and one from Tralee to Heuston cancelled on the Sunday. There will also be no DART services between Malahide and Howth Junction on Saturday or Sunday. A statement from Irish Rail reads:
