IRISH RAIL HAS said commuters should expect “severe delays” due to a fault at Howth Junction.

Services through the station were halted about an hour ago due to a points problem. Both Dart and commuter services have been affected.

Though Irish Rail said services had started moving back through the station, in the last few minutes the company said Howth services have now been suspended.

Update: Howth Howth Jct services now suspended. Malahide DART & Northern Commuter operating through Howth Jct, but subject to delays
