It's been a chaotic 24 hours for commuters around Dublin.
A number of commuters heading to work in the capital on Friday morning suffered considerable delays due to an issue near Sutton railway station.
A truck smashed through a level crossing which resulted in major delays between Howth and Howth Junction, with Irish Rail sharing a photograph of the incident to social media (see featured image).
Accompanying the image, Iarnrod Eireann wrote: "Dublin Bus accepting rail tickets. Knock-on delays expected to other DART and Commuter services also."
Several passengers on the Luas Green Line were also delayed on their morning commute due to an earlier incident.

Let's all just keep our fingers crossed for a smooth commute home after work this evening.
