Luas passengers in Dublin have been severely impacted this weekend with Green line services between Balally and Brides Glen down until Sunday.
A power failure at Stillorgan on Saturday afternoon caused the problem with the tram service from Balally, the stop south of Dundrum to the end of the southside track.
There is a limited service operating between Broombridge and Balally every 8 to 10 minutes.
Luas said it has identified a number of faults which will take time to rectify.
