"There are also traffic restrictions in place," it added.
The official Luas Twitter account advised service users that red line journeys between Blackhorse and Smithfield were impacted, however, the service has since resumed.
The transport provider has warned passengers that red line services are now operating with delays, apologising for any inconvenience caused.
