A MAN WHO climbed to the top of a crane in Dublin city centre has safely returned to the ground after negotiations with garda\u00ed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He has since been arrested and is being detained at a garda station in the Dublin area.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The incident occurred on Talbot Street and led emergency services to cordon off the area, which disrupted traffic and meant Luas services at Marlborough Street stop were suspended.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A photo posted by Dublin Fire Brigade on social media earlier this evening showed Merlborough Street cordoned off with garda\u00ed and a number of fire engines visible.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A garda spokesperson said emergency services had responded \u201cfollowing concerns for an adult male who had climbed a crane\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cAn Garda S\u00edoch\u00e1na responded to the incident and activated its Operational Command protocol,\u201d the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n
\u201cAn on-scene commander was appointed and garda negotiators, along with several other garda units, attended the scene.<\/p>\n
\u201cThrough successful negotiations, garda\u00ed were able to safely remove the male from the crane.\u201d<\/p>\n
Luas has said that tram services have returned on the Green Line but are operating with some delays.\u00a0<\/p>\n
