Luas users should allow extra time when travelling this evening as services are operating with delays.
The network was damaged, and some trams stopped working earlier today due to the lightning strikes last night.
Maintenance teams were working throughout last night and today to rectify the power issue and restore a full service.
In a post online, the Luas Twitter account said service has been restored between the Red Cow section of the Luas Red Line and Saggart.
“We thank you for your patience throughout this disruption. Please allow extra time when travelling this evening as services are operating with delays,” the post said.
“We apologise for any inconvenience caused.”
