The owners of a property backing on to the northern rail line in Malahide, Co Dublin, dispute High Court claims that an outbuilding in their rear garden caused a recent embankment collapse following heavy rainfall, which briefly disrupted Dart services.

Iarnród Eireann/Irish Rail and CIÉ have sought an injunction against Kieran Brady and Virginia Synnott who the transport companies allege had the outbuilding constructed to “a very significant extent” on CIÉ-owned land behind their property at Ashleigh Lawn, Malahide.
