DART services were suspended between Pearse and Dún Laoghaire for around three hours, after a train hit a fallen tree, which also caused damage to the overhead power lines.

Flooding on the line between Greystones and Wicklow also caused delays, but all Irish Rail services had been restored by 8.30pm.

A number of flights were cancelled at Dublin, Cork and Shannon airports while ferry sailings were also affected as Storm Bram hit.
