A full Luas red line service has resumed operation in Dublin following the completion of repair work on fire-damaged buildings.

The city centre service had been suspended for several days while Dublin City Council carried out work on buildings adjacent to the tracks on Benburb Street.

Veolia Transport, which runs the Luas service, said trams were now travelling onwards from the Heuston stop to the city centre serving Connolly and The Point stops.

"Dublin City Council’s buildings department informed Luas this afternoon, that they had progressed works on the fire damaged buildings on Benburb Street to a point where the overhead power lines could be turned back on, permitting the trams to travel safely," it said.
