The scene was sealed off by gardaí, which caused disruption for early-morning commuters.

Trams travelling along the Luas Green Line were unable to pass through the Grafton Street and St Stephen's Green junction for a number of hours.

The restriction caused delays of up to 10 minutes on the Green Line.

Luas operator Transdev said an incident on the track overnight caused the closure of track between the St Stephen's Green and Dawson Street stops.

Early morning commuters had been asked to alight from trams and walk between the St Stephen’s Green and Dawson Street stops.

The Garda preservation of the scene has ended and trams are now running the full length of the Green Line.

During the disruption trams themselves were actually coming within metres of one another at St Stephen’s Green, where “turn back” points are in place at St Stephen’s Green North and St Stephen’s Green West. The service stopped running just after 6am and Transdev apologised to passengers for the inconvenience.
