With two huge concerts on in Dublin last night, there were reports of chaos as people tried to make their way home.
People attempted to travel following both the Liam Gallagher gig in Malahide Castle, as well as the Taylor Swift gig at Croke Park, when apparently passengers on one of the trains began to interfere with the doors.
This led to the train being stopped between stations for what people on board claim was over 40 minutes.
At the time, Irish Rail tweeted about the delay from their account:

However, passengers on board had a different take on the events:

Speaking to JOE, Maria Clarke, one of the passengers on the DART at the time, told us about the situation at the time:
"On a DART from Malahide last night after the [Liam Gallagher] concert and we were stopped between stations just after Malahide. Apparently the train in front was being vandalized so we were held up.
"After an hour of being stuck some idiots broke a window and all started climbing out onto the track. Others were peeing in corners and being generally disgusting.
"The guards finally arrived and we got as far as Connolly before being told the dart would go no further. Disgraceful carry on!"
Thank you to Maria Clarke for both of the images.
