Rail passengers are facing significant disruption this weekend as both Tara and Pearse Station will be closed to facilitate roof works. Iarnród Éireann is closing both Dublin city centre stations to allow for repairs on the Pearse Street roof to be carried out. The roof structure, which dates back to the 1880s, is in poor condition, and replacing the structure was identified as a “crucial safety project” by Iarnród Éireann. Protective mesh netting has been in place in the station below roof level in recent years to protect customers and rail services. Previous weekend closures took place in October, January, February and March.
