We were approx 20mins delayed at connolly. Funny announcement onboard (at malahide)stated that were stopping at portmarnock, howth junction and then nonstop to connolly... we then proceeded to stop at Kilbarrack :) with a further announcment that it was non-stop from Kilbarrack to Connolly! I didn't see the broken dart as the train was like a cattlewagon by then.
