Big Freeze 02/12/10

ALL LUAS SERVICES have been suspended on both the Red and Green lines for the rest of the evening. The Luas Customer Care officials are saying that the complete stoppage is due to snow levels on the tracks. They are hoping to have the trams running again from 5.30am tomorrow but advise checking their website home page and transport.ie.

Dublin Bus says that its last buses will leave the city centre and suburbs tonight at 9pm. In better news, flights are again arriving and departing Dublin Airport but the DAA is advising that passengers check their airline’s website before coming to the airport this evening because the flight schedule has been severely disrupted.

Officials from the Department of the Environment said this lunchtime that the volume of salt being used to treat roads in the current conditions was twice the anticipated amount, and that remaining supplies would have to be preserved. Brian Cowen earlier told the Dáil, however, that stocks remained sufficient.
