Ennis rail services postponed until Sunday

Dublin-Iarnród Éireann has said there will be no rail services between Ennis and Limerick at least until Sunday, because of flooding on the railway line. Heavy rain has meant that a section of the line at Ballycar, between Ennis and Sixmilebridge is submerged under at least 12cm of water, and there has been no improvement since yesterday.
The company says it is monitoring the situation on a daily basis, but given the flooding levels at present it does not seem the line will be able to open so that services can resume before Sunday.
Around 600 commuters living and working in both Ennis and Limerick use the nine daily services on the line.
