Nothing to actually report at this stage obviously
I wonder what’s happening??
Been stuck on a dart between Clontarf and Connolly since 6:35 (it’s nearly 7:15 now). Anyone know what happened?
> Update: Gardai have removed the passenger at Connolly. Services are expected to resume through Connolly shortly, with the exception of platform 5. Significant delays can be expected as a result. I will post an update regarding delays
Michael O’Toole from the Mirror reporting a shotgun has been seized by Gardai
It must have been serious for such a response given how lackadaisical the reaction I got from Connolly staff when someone sat down beside me and unwrapped a 6 inch knife and held it up for inspection. They just took him of the train and put him back on a few carriages further on. He then got off at Donabate.
Jeez what is happening to this country
If it was due to some lad with a gun on the train then Irish Rail were hardy going to say that. People would avoid Connolly as a result.
Can’t give too many deets but was told there . . .
Antique firearm and big innocent misunderstanding
Edit
Not that I give a fuck but people are downvoting me. Probably think I’m spoofing.
I’m serious though none of the lurid rumours were true, it was cunts stirring the pot.
RTE have reported now, Irish man, 50s, no threats made.
You’ll find out eventually the firearm was an antique and the whole situation was a misunderstanding that led to a panic.
Edit 2
Irish Times The shotgun was undergoing tests to determine if it was decommissioned, as suspected.
You can’t even carry a shotgun with you on your commute home these days. Irish government gone woke!
I doubt it was a super soaker if the armed boys popped by
Ok what odds can I get that this fella is currently on bail for some other bullshit please?
Seems like the situation was handled really well though by gardai?
A doctor or an engineer no doubt?
It’s almost like we need a dedicated Transport Garda.
Imagine the riots in Nov ’23. Word got out very quickly and scum from everywhere (wanting to loot) would have been stopped en-route by Transport Garda, telling the bus/train/Luas driver to turn around and make their way back to the point of origin. No scum in town to cause a ruckus.
Drunks and junkies couldn’t run amok on bus/train/Luas because there would be a dedicated Transport Garda to arrest them and have them fucked off. Once fucked off said bus/train/Luas, they would be met by normal Garda and put in a cell.
God, I have such notions on how this country should be ran.

That garda certainly looks like he has two arms.

All
Imagine how mortifying it must be to be so scummy you shut down all the trains in Dublin temporarily
Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest!
Must be quite serious given the response. Thankful for the multiple measures Iarnrod Éireann have taken these past 20+ years.
What type of anti social behaviour requires the armed Garda’s and the riot squad???
TV license. It’s the law.
