A woman has died after being run over by a train in Dublin. The incident happened at Raheny train station at 1:45pm this afternoon.
The woman was waiting for a northbound DART service when she accidentally fell onto the track when a train travelling from Pearse St to Drogheda, which does not stop at Raheny, was approaching.
The driver of the oncoming train applied the emergency brakes - but was not able to stop in time.
Services were suspended between Howth Junction and Connolly as the emergency services attended the scene.
Customers on board the train remained there throughout, but were moved to the rear of the train away from where the emergency services were assisting the woman.
She was rushed to Beaumont Hospital, where she subsequently died.
Irish Rail says the driver of the train will receive counselling and support following the incident.
The company has expressed its sympathies to the woman's family and friends.
