Essential engineering works will take place on the Luas Red Line over three weekends this autumn: 13–14 September, 4–5 October and 25–27 October (including the Bank Holiday Monday).

During these weekends there will be no Red Line services between Red Cow and Tallaght/Saggart. Trams will continue to operate between Connolly and Red Cow only. Green Line services are not affected and will run as normal.

During the works, a replacement bus service will operate between Red Cow and Tallaght/Saggart. Buses will run approximately every 15 minutes, and a valid Luas ticket is required to use them. Passengers are advised to allow extra time for their journeys.
