THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT delays both into and out of Heuston Station in Dublin this evening after a man was struck by a train in Co Kildare.
The incident happened at roughly 3.55pm this afternoon.
Emergency services attended the scene and the line was closed between Heuston and Newbridge, according to a spokesman for Irish Rail.
The line reopened just before 5.30pm.
“Newbridge gardaí and emergency services attended a scene where a male teenager was struck by a train,” a Garda spokesperson said.
The injured teen suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was subsequently transferred to Naas General Hospital.
While all trains are now running normally, delays are envisaged for the next number of hours as the backlog of trains is cleared.

Best not to say how old you are. The government will probably find a way to demand more tax
@Marc Power: Agreed, They want us plebs to work until 70 while they swan off at 50 with numerous pensions and directorships.
@Marc Power: In fairness Marc they do need to know how many extra trolleys to order for our hospitals…………..
@David Huston:
Once again, since about 2011 a government minister cannot receive more than one pension related to the highest position they attained and not until they get to normal retirement age.
Directorships are a matter for a company and not paid for the taxpayer.
Maybe you didn’t know but it seems a lot of commenters throw out statements like yours, a flat out lie, in the hope it cons a few “plebs”
@P.J. Nolan: Enda Kenny’s pension pot would have cost a private sector worker €5.2 million. Excessive by any standards.
@Sean:
Agreed, his pension is related to his salary and that salary was too high.
might reach the 100-and get the cheque from the government.
@TheBluffmaster2: it would probably bounce frame it instead
@Jonathan Power: I’d frame it, Might be worth something in a thousand years all going well……
@Jonathan Power: well I don’t think Michael D will be giving it to me anyway.

@B.J.Elmes: No Gambling? No Drinking? What State do you live in?
