'Darts so packed a woman who fainted in Blackrock only hit the floor at Grand Canal Dock'

Labour's transport spokesman Senator Kevin Humphreys said said Transport Minister Shane Ross had held off on buying 41 new carriages to assist with the overcrowding on Dart trains.

The Labour Party says large offices in Dublin should stagger their working hours to relieve pressure on commuter trains.

It will be 2022 at the earliest before new carriages will be delivered to Dublin, where there is heavy overcrowding at rush hour.
