Major disruptions are happening this morning for Northside DART, Northern Commuter and Enterprise following a tragic incident.

 

"An out of service train struck and fatally injured a man at Howth Junction," Iarnród Éireann spokesperson Barry Kenny said on RTE Radio One's Morning Ireland.

 

"There will be major disruption for the entirety of this morning's peak, this means no DARTs operating from Malahide or Howth.

 

"Dublin Bus are accepting rail tickets but obviously with typical volumes there will be significant pressure and capacity.

 

"If commuters can opt for alternative routes, we would advise them to do so."

 

 

The Northern Commuter is operating between Newry/Dundalk/Drogheda and Malahide only.

 

For the Belfast Enterprise, bus transfers are operating between Dublin and Drogheda.

 

Barry said that it would not be 'unusual' for the line to be closed for around two and a half hours in this situation.

 

"We apologise to customers but the circumstance is a tragic one, and the disruption is unavoidable," he noted.
