A MAN IN his 20s was rescued from the River Liffey in Dublin this morning by gardaí and members of the Dublin Fire Brigade.
The rescue happened at Sir John Rogerson’s Quay just east of the Samuel Beckett Bridge at about 11 am this morning.
The man was taken out of the water by a Dublin Fire Brigade rescue boat after gardaí used a life buoy to keep him afloat in the water.

If it’s one thing Iarnrod Eireann are good at, it’s cancelling services
@pkunzip doom2.zip: nonsense, while you’ll get people nagging on about rail services reduced on the hottest weekend in August, its more likely been planned months in advance based on annual August footfalls.
It would be too costly to cancel the works now because you have contractors who will still have to be paid, probably overtime for company staff and then the price of doing it all again
@pkunzip doom2.zip: They are upgrading the line or did you not read the article. That section of line is the oldest in the country and as DART+ is being rolled out there will be work needed across the entire commuter network.
So they have to close the line and they choose the slowest weekends to do so.
@Gary Kearney: did you read my comment?
But they were saying essential works are carried at night and this prevents from extending services to late at nights so that a better service could be provided to the public.
have your say
