Tragedy was narrowly avoided on Friday when a 20 metre section of track on the Dublin to Belfast train route collapsed into the sea.
The section, part of a viaduct spanning the Broadmeadow Estuary, gave way just before a train was due to pass over it.
Seabed erosion is believed to be the likely cause. The affected section will be closed for the next three months, causing significant delays to Irish commuters in the meantime.
