Luas passengers are being advised of temporary changes to Red Line services from Wednesday 11 to Friday 13 November 2026, as Dublin hosts two major European political meetings.
The changes will affect services in the Docklands area, with some stops closing on Wednesday evening and no tram services between Connolly and The Point on Thursday and Friday.
The Luas Green Line will operate as normal throughout.
Wednesday 11 November
Red Line services will operate between Tallaght/Saggart and The Point as normal for most of the day.
However, two stops will close from 8pm:
Mayor Square – NCI
Spencer Dock
Thursday 12 and Friday 13 November
More significant restrictions will apply on both days.
Red Line trams will operate between Tallaght/Saggart and Connolly only, with no services running between Connolly and The Point.
Passengers travelling to or from the Docklands should allow extra time and consider alternative transport arrangements.
Advice for Niall Horan Concertgoers
The disruption will also affect passengers attending Niall Horan's concerts at the 3Arena on Thursday 12 and Friday 13 November.
There will be no Luas service to The Point before either concert.
Concertgoers travelling by Luas should get off at Connolly and continue to the 3Arena on foot, following the designated walking route.
The route takes pedestrians north towards North Strand Road, then east along Seville Place and Sheriff Street Upper, before turning onto East Wall Road towards the 3Arena.
Passengers should follow the designated route and any directions from Gardaí, as security restrictions will be in place around the Convention Centre Dublin and parts of the Docklands.
After each concert, a very limited number of trams will operate non-stop from The Point to Connolly. Passengers should not rely on these services being available.
When Will Normal Services Resume?
Normal Red Line services are scheduled to resume on Saturday 14 November.
The temporary restrictions are being introduced to facilitate meetings of the European Political Community and EU Heads of State in Dublin.
Passengers can check the latest arrangements on the official Luas website before travelling.
