The Great Limerick Run is causing significant delays in public transport over the May bank holiday weekend.
As of early Saturday, nationwide bus and airport-coach services face interruptions. This includes Bus Éireann routes, which are heavily impacted.
Irish rail services also experience delays due to ongoing engineering works. The DART and Luas networks are affected as well.
May 9 and May 10 are designated bank holidays in West Bengal, celebrating Rabindranath Tagore’s Jayanti. Banks will remain closed on May 9, impacting financial operations.
Temperatures are expected to drop next week, with highs below average for this time of year. Wednesday could be particularly cool, with temperatures just below 10°C in northern areas.
In southern regions, highs may reach around 15°C next week.
The Great Limerick Run coincides with these holidays, causing a perfect storm of transport issues. Many travelers may need to plan accordingly.
