🇮🇪 Banna Strand. Good Friday 1916. Roger Casement was captured by the British while attempting to land weapons for the Easter Rising. Jailed in the Tower of London, tried for treason, he was executed by hanging on the 3rd of August. A courageous patriot who risked everything. For Ireland’s freedom. For the Republic. “I die for my country. My last message to everyone is ‘sursum corda’ - lift up your hearts!” Fuair se bás ar son saoirse na hÉireann.

Remembering Fab Vinny Hanley, born this day in 1954. He soundtracked so many Irish lives. "Here's three in a row from ZZ Top..." hotpress.com/music/remember…

@IrishRail Another day, another delay

@DBDUB69 Yes, this is the 12.35 Howth/Bray service. -AD

12:35 Howth/Bray has departed Howth +9mins delayed due to an operational issue. -AD

#OtD 1 Apr 1649 Protestant radical group the Diggers occupied St George's Hill, UK, and began tilling the land collectively. They advocated a kind of proto-communism based on direct action, common ownership and the end of hierarchy. Commemorated here: shop.workingclasshistory.com/products/tsotm…

Sixty years ago today, an entire cast of brilliant writers were lost. We remember: Brian O’Nolan Flann O'Brien Myles na gCopaleen Brother Barnabas George Knowall May they all Rest in Peace.

Martin McGuinness died 9 years ago today. RIP "A rebel I came – I’m still the same On the cold winters night you will find me”

Happy birthday to Sister Rosetta Tharpe, born on this day in 1915! A true pioneer, playing rock ’n’ roll before it even had a name.

@IrishRail Not much use to me

@DBDUB69 It was not flagged on the previous service as we did not know the extent of the delay to the 10.50 Connolly/Belfast service. As soon as this information was available it was posted on all platforms. Services have since resumed and delays of up to +20mins are expected to ease.-AD

@IrishRail the 11.08 southbound dart from Raheny was 4 minutes delayed on arrival. With that said, do you know why the driver is staying at each station for about 2-4 minutes without moving off

@IrishRail That message relates to 11.18 from Raheny. It wasn’t flagged for the 11.08 because I checked before leaving house multiple times

@DBDUB69 Hi there, delays of up to +25mins can be expected currently. This issue was flagged on both the app/journey planner & X by myself. -AD x.com/IrishRail

@IrishRail So will there be a further delay? This dart should reach Booterstown at 11.37. How late will this be and why wasn’t this flagged on the app or on x?

@DBDUB69 This is due to the 10:50 Connolly/Belfast stopping on approach to Clontarf Road due to a technical issue. This has created congestion through Connolly as a result. -AD

Probably

Two more goals for Troy Parrott tonight Did it against a Czech team too 31 goals this season 🇮🇪👀

@IrishRail Any apology for telling me I was incorrect in what I was saying?

@DBDUB69 11.35 Howth/Bray operated non stop upon request of central control in order to aid service recovery, preventing further delays. Passengers were accommodated onboard the 11.44 Malahide/Bray which severed Raheny at 12.02. Apologies for any inconvience caused. -AD

@IrishRail why has the 11.48 southbound dart from Raheny been cancelled for the second day in a row? Again no information here or on the app. An empty train flew by just like yesterday. Excuse yesterday was congestion what is today? And why no notice to passengers? Disgraceful

@IrishRail So you are wrong in what you said earlier

@IrishRail What part of it being canceled don’t you understand

@IrishRail Because the 11.48 from Raheny to Bray was cancelled. It didn’t arrive. I was there. It was announced to everyone on the platform it was cancelled

@IrishRail Still outside Connolly AD

@IrishRail Not in Connolly yet. I’m in carriage 8308 in case you think I’m lying AD
