RAIL SERVICES HAVE resumed on Dublin’s southside following an incident on the line at Booterstown.

“Line has reopened between Pearse and Dun Laoghaire. Full services are now resuming, knock-on delays expected to remain,” Irish Rail tweeted.

    Make the Sandymount road one way south. That is as much as it is safely capable.

    @William Kelly: what’s a no brainer is that there has been an incident.

    It’s in the public and passenger’s interest to suspend trains passing through.

    Tim McCormack29: Yesterday Clifden was in lockdown, all businesses and pubs closed because a travellers funeral took place.
    Disgrace if gardai can’t even protect citizens.
    It was well and long before known that the funeral would take place.
    In Germany the police would have dispatched 200 armed police to the city and dealt with the problem.
    Here the police allows UK’s

    to take a whole town hostage!!
    Unbelievable
