No doubt it’s the mentally ill up to their old tricks again.

Few at least still running from Tara st

Great. Traffic on the quays is going to be an absolute joy if Amiens Street is presumably closed

Mr.Crinklewood · 30-04-2018 01:04PM

Deport all people from Northern Ireland.

punisher5112 · 30-04-2018 01:05PM

Before anyone else it's definitely a conspiracy of some sort....

Enda probably also

Now it seems nothing is moving even though 3 trains went north and nothing south.

Probably some hungover lad who didn't want to go to work.

Michael Douglas falling down mode he left a broken pair of glasses and a duffle bag on the platform don't pissed him off.

Old explosives found by workers clearing a storeroom. Apparently

I'd hold on to that hope until the package was actually proven to be something suspicious.

Those things they use to make a bang on the tracks to signal a train to stop then ?

crashplan · 30-04-2018 02:05PM

Irish Rail spokesperson Barry Kenny told TheJournal.ie that a “suspect item” was found near Platforms 1 and 2.

Irish Rail said just after 1pm that the station is expected to remain closed for at least two hours and possibly longer. From here

Oh rush hour is going to be fun if it's not re-opened shortly!

valoren · 30-04-2018 02:06PM

They're saying the Boom is back but this is ridiculous!

Nah, sure it’s fine to speculate as long as you don’t mention ‘you know what’

A suspect device was found in Connolly Station- a train on time.

JohnnyFlash · 30-04-2018 02:10PM

The whole place will be swamped for the next few months with goons from Irish Rail in fluorescent jackets conducting ‘audits’ on what happened. Clipboards everywhere. They’ll probably put in a pay claim on the back of it as well.

Those are detonators.

The newspaper link in the op mentions dynamite was found in an old store room.

Bin Laden is so yesterday, nowadays it's all about a basement dweller trying to nab a few Chads and Stacy's

It's obviously the Muslims but the liberal media are covering it up to make it look like ineptitude on the part of Irish Rail which every one knows would never happen.
