The length of disruption today was unacceptable, 2 hours is the UK target for these events. I would be pointing at the gardai here for going over the top and blocking Irish Rail.
As the train has blackbox, cctv and the train is never the guilty party there is no need to detain the train as evidence.
End of the day, it comes down to one witness the driver. It all hangs on why the person was on the track. If they were being chased, pushed etc. If there is any suggestion of foul play, its a big problem.
Rule book says passengers cannot pass by the scene until it is cleared, you could place another train alongside to hide the incident, in that case the early morning departures should have been able to run.

GardaĆ* need to ask themselves would they be allowed to close a main road such as the M50 for this time period. A complete joke and they had just short of 8 hours before any trains were scheduled. Just what sort of investigation were they doing. IE need to have some words an get some answers from them. Yet again our rail system comes to a complete stop for over 12 hours. You wouldn't get this carry on anywhere else around the world. The scene should of be cleared up before the 08.00 to Galway.
Do the rules allow trains/passengers to pass once the body is removed or does everything have to go. Anyway they could easily of put of one of those tents they do for murders.
