A MAJOR incident at an Irish rail station is set to cause “significant delays” for commuters this evening.
Multiple armed Garda units responded to the scene at Connolly Station in Dublin tonight as a passenger was removed from a train.
Gardai told commuters to leave the station and nobody was allowed to enter for at time earlier this evening.
A number of squad cars were present at the scene, with a heavy Garda presence around the station.
Services have now resumed, however Irish Rail has warned of heavy delays of up to around 50 minutes due to the incident and due to the train being held at the station due to the gardai’s request.
Irish Rail posted on X earlier: “15.05 Sligo/Connolly is being held at Connolly as Gardai are attending a report of anti-social behaviour.
“Services in & out of Connolly remain suspended upon request of the Gardai.
“Significant delays through Connolly can be expected as a result.”
Later, it added: “Update: Gardai have removed the passenger at Connolly.
“Services are expected to resume through Connolly shortly, with the exception of platform 5.
“Significant delays can be expected as a result.”
It later added: “Update: Services have resumed through Connolly, except platform 5.
“Delays of up to +50mins can be expected through Connolly as a result.
“Delays expected to ease over time as we regulate services back to schedule. Service alterations may occur.”
It later said the delayed 18.33 Connolly/Wexford service will be combined with the 20.08 Connolly/Gorey train. Passengers will then go on bus transfers from Gorey to Wexford to complete their journey.
Irish Rail added: “The 15.05 Sligo/Connolly has been detained upon request of gardai.”
Gardai said in a statement to the Irish Sun: “In the past hour, Gardaí have responded to an incident that occurred onboard an Irish Rail commuter service arriving at Connolly Station, Dublin.
“While we remain at the scene, there are no public safety issues at this time.
“There is no additional information available at this time.”

A MAN has been arrested on suspicion of the murder of Michelle Sadio in west London.
The 44-year-old was killed after a gunman opened fire in a drive-by shooting outside a wake in Brent.
The suspect, 18, was detained today and remains in custody.
Michelle’s family have been updated with this development and continue to be supported by specially trained officers.
Detective Chief Inspector Phil Clarke who leads the investigation said: “While this arrest marks a significant step forward in this investigation we continue to appeal for anyone with information about Michelle’s murder to come forward and speak to us.
“This was senseless act of violence that resulted in an innocent woman being killed.
“Michelle’s family continue to grieve and we are determined to ensure those responsible face the consequences of their actions.
“If you can help in any way then please don’t hesitate to contact us.”
An investigation was launched after police were called at around 9.15pm on December 14 last year, to reports of the shooting in Gifford Road, which happened as Michelle and others were standing outside the church following a wake.
Officers and London Ambulance Service paramedics attended the scene.
TOTTENHAM star Rodrigo Bentancur suffered a serious injury against Liverpool and had to be taken off.
The midfielder landed awkwardly after challenging for the ball in the air at a corner.
Bentancur missed the ball as he dived low to reach it, and appeared to injury his right arm as he reached the turf.
He remained rooted to the spot he fell in which caused alarm for the rest of the players.
Stars from both sides immediately rushed physios and medical staff onto the pitch to attend to Bentancur.
He received treatment for around seven minutes before being taken off on a stretcher.
It forced Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou into an early change as Brennan Johnson came on to replace the stricken star.
