Many train users in Dublin still avoid Howth Junction, following an incident that saw a woman fall onto the tracks after attempting to avoid a group of teenagers.

Gardaí have placed undercover officers on the DART to clamp down on anti-social behaviour.

One woman at the station this morning said: "It can be very intimidating, no matter what age you are, if there is a crowd of teenagers and they all want is to be heard and they are shouting and screaming."

Another woman says she avoids the stop altogether: "You can’t go down to a train now and get on to a train but there is somebody at you.

"I get off at Raheny; I never get off at Howth Junction. I get off a stop before and get the bus up. I don’t feel safe at Howth Junction."

Investigation

A teenage boy has been arrested in connection with the recent incident of violent disorder in Howth Junction Dart Station in Dublin.

He's the fourth person to be detained after gardai launched an investigation after a woman fell onto the tracks on April 1st.

He was questioned at Raheny Garda Station and has been released, with a file being sent to the DPP.

Investigations are ongoing.
