Ireland: Police activity prompts train disruptions at Connolly Station in Dublin on evening of Jan. 8

Authorities briefly closed and suspended train services at Connolly Station in Dublin on the evening of Jan. 8. Police said that the move came in response to a "report of anti-social behaviour" on a train arriving at the station. Officials announced that the situation had been resolved as of around 19:15, and authorities since reopened the station and asserted that there are no remaining public safety issues. Long lines have reportedly formed as commuters attempt to reenter the station.

Lingering rail transport disruptions will probably affect lines operating via Connolly Station over the coming hours. Heightened security and vehicular transport disruptions will also likely affect the vicinity of the station over the short term.
