Customers are advised that Go-Ahead Ireland and other Transport for Ireland services may be subject to temporary diversions, delays and disruption between 11th and 13th November 2026 due to traffic management and security measures associated with the European Political Community (EPC) and Informal European Union Council (IEUCO) meetings in Dublin.

Go-Ahead Ireland’s planned service changes will apply from 19:00 on Wednesday, 11th November until 19:00 on Friday, 13th November 2026. Other routes may experience delays or contingency changes during this event period.

    • Services will terminate at Bachelor’s Walk, Dublin City Centre. Outbound services will resume from Ha’penny Bridge.
