Tragic incident at Howth junction leaves major disruption for commuters

"An out of service train struck and fatally injured a man at Howth Junction," Kenny said.

He warned that there will be a major disruption for the entirety of this morning's peak, meaning no DARTs will be operating from Malahide or Howth. Dublin Bus will be accepting rail tickets but obviously but warned that the increase in passengers will put a strain on their services.
