Dart services have returned to normal on Friday after several hours of disruption last night due to an incident on the southside line.

This followed an incident on the line near Shankill in county Dublin at 8.20pm on Thursday.

Services on the line operated only between Howth/Malahide and Dalkey following the incident.

The line has since reopened and trains are operating normally on Friday.
