The line between Dublin and Drogheda is closed.

Bus transfers will be in operation.

The disruption is to allow repairs following the derailment of a freight train on Thursday night, south of Skerries at Hacketstown, Co Dublin.

Iarnrod Éireann says it hopes that the services will return to normal on Monday morning.
