    The Irish Times are calling it a "serious incident", I could be wrong but this almost always translates to mean someone jumped in front of the train. The impression I get from the article is that it involved the enterprise.

    I feel for teh person's family so close to christmas but I feel terrible for the poor train driver if it is the case of a suicide.
