Getting the DART to the Grand Hotel? Please note that as of Sunday, 29th November 2009, a range of service changes have taken effect. In a major review of DART schedules, a new regular 15-minute interval service is to be introduced across the full day (Monday to Saturday), with additional services operating at peak times (Monday to Friday) to match demand. The regular interval service will eliminate occasional significant gaps in service at off-peak times, and give an easily understandable pattern of services through the day for customers.For more information, including new timetables, visit http://www.irishrail.ie/

Full rail services have resumed on the Dublin-Belfast line following the completion of repair work on the Malahide Viaduct in north Dublin. Iarnród Éireann have said that the line reopened this morning and a normal timetable has been restored for Northern Commuter and Belfast Enterprise services.
On Friday, 13th November 2009, the manager of the Irish soccer team, Giovanni Trapattoni , held his final press conference here in the Grand Hotel before the vital World Cup Qualifier. There was a huge press interest in this briefing with TV and print journalists from both Ireland and France in large attendance. During his briefing, Trapattoni said “'We need the same spirit, we need the same performance, we need the attitude we have had in the games throughout qualification - but we have to add some more”.
Iarnrod Eireann is to reopen the viaduct at Malahide, Co. Dublin, and resume normal commuter services on Monday, 16th November 2009.
