As far as I can see a major contributor to this morning's chaos was Irish Rail's post incident response. Rather than run the first three or four more heavily delayed services non-stop to Connolly they added additional stops to already overcrowded commuter services thus further delaying these services and causing additional delay to following services.
For instance the 0700 from Dundalk left Malahide after the bridge strke was cleared but took 46 minutes to limp into Connolly.
