Snot the sort of thing one expects on the DART!
A DART was delayed on Thursday afternoon after a row broke out over people selling packets of tissues.
Gardaí were called to the altercation at Shankill train station.
The 12:55 Bray to Howth DART was held up for around 20 minutes while officers dealt with the incident.

The fight was related to a scam in which packets of tissues are placed on seats along with a note, in an attempt to get passengers to buy them at exaggerated prices.
Typically, anyone who touches the packet is told they have bought the tissues and is aggressively pursued for payment - believed to be up to €5.
A spokesperson for Iarnród Éireann said the practice of people illegally selling tissues crops up from time to time on all its rail services.
