Senator Lorraine Clifford-Lee has confirmed that Irish Rail will be announcing a new timetable today which will revert to the pre 26th August morning timetable.
The Fingal-based Senator, who is Fianna Fáil's General Election candidate in Fingal West, said she had engaged with her party colleague, Minister of State at the Department of Transport James Lawless and with Irish Rail continuously on the new timetable introduced on 26th August, that had worsened the commuting experience for people from North County Dublin.
She said: "I am happy to confirm today that, after my engagement with Irish Rail and with my party colleague Minister James Lawless, Irish Rail will be announcing a new timetable, which will, more or less, revert to the pre 26th August morning timetable.
"The new timetable will be implemented from Monday 14th October and has been announced to address the enormous disruption caused by the new timetable introduced on 16th September to North County Dublin commuters work, education, childcare and life needs.
"While it does not solve all the issues, and I will continue to keep the pressure on and engage on this until all issues are resolved, the new timetable is good news for North County Dublin commuters. It will particularly help with the situation regarding morning commutes where the new timetable had an extraordinarily negative impact."
