  "summary": "The upcoming Dublin Marathon is expected to cause significant disruptions to traffic and public transport throughout the capital. Road closures spanning multiple routes will be in effect from the early hours of the morning until the evening, with the first wave of wheelchair participants starting at 8:40am. Additional closures along the marathon route will commence at 3:30am and continue throughout the day, with some lifting between 10:30am and 8:30pm. Public transport users are advised to take note of the disruptions, with Iarnród Éireann suspending Dart services between Grand Canal Dock and Bray due to ongoing works, and Dublin Bus suspending several routes. The Luas red line will also experience a temporary and partial closure, with no services operating between Heuston and Connolly/The Point from 8:45am until 10:45am.",
