Rail services between Munster and the capital have resumed following earlier disruption after an incident between Ballybrophy and Portlaoise in Co Laois.

All services are now back operating, Iarnród Éireann has said.

It comes after emergency services attended a tragic incident that happened earlier this morning.

The incident resulted in disruption for anyone travelling to Dublin from counties Cork, Limerick, Kerry and Clare.

Those impacted included fans travelling by train to the All-Ireland hurling semi-final between Clare and Kilkenny later this afternoon in Croke Park.

The 10:25 Ennis to Heuston Station service was cancelled earlier.
