DART services have been suspended between Dun Laoghaire and Lansdowne Road after a body was discovered this morning in South Dublin.

Gardai and several units from the Dublin Fire Brigade rushed to the site of the sinister discovery in Blackrock Park, Booterstown, shortly after 7 a.m.

A Garda spokeswoman told Dublin Live that the results of an autopsy would determine the course of her investigation.

She said: “Gardai is currently on the scene following the discovery of a body in Blackrock Park, Dublin, this morning, September 17, 2020.

“The body remains at the scene and will be transferred for a post-mortem examination at a later date, the results of which will determine the course of the investigation. No further information is available at this time. “

Dublin Bus is accepting train tickets during the DART suspension and traffic is extremely heavy in the surrounding areas, according to AA Roadwatch.

Emergency services are dealing with a collision on Milltown Road, near the Sandford Road junction.

Incoming traffic has reversed before the Churchtown Road junction and there are long lines to join the route at Dundrum Road and Clonskeagh Road towards Ranelagh.

It is also very slow on Drummartin Link Road from the M50 to Kilmacud Road Lower.

Nearby there is heavy traffic from Murphystown Way to Leopardstown Road with delays and then continuing to Brewery Road.

On Stillorgan Road, it’s slow from Cornelscourt to the Leopardstown Road junction and again from Stillorgan Village to Fosters Avenue.
