Quoted from Irish Rail's page for Dublin Pearse. Worked out from Irish Rail's own station page, which is written by hand and has been wrong before. It is a careful reading, not a survey, and it does not know about anything the page leaves out. A notice that names a platform is read against the second list, and one that names the concourse or entrance against the first. Know this station? Tell us what this gets wrong.

The escalator at platform 2 is temporarily unavailable due to planned works. Iarnród Éireann Irish Rail apologise for the inconvenience caused.
A way up lost, not step-free access An escalator is moving stairs, so it was not a step-free route to begin with and its being out did not remove one. Anyone who finds a flight of stairs hard, or has a buggy, a suitcase or a stick, did lose a way up. Irish Rail's page puts a lift on the way to platform 2 as well: "Lift or stairs to platform 2 (southbound)".

No step-free access Platform 2 is reached by lift, and Irish Rail's page names no other step-free way to it, so step-free access was gone while this was listed. Platform 1 needed no lift, so it kept step-free access: "Ramp to platform 1 (City Centre and northbound)".
