Default [4-2-2011] delays to maynooth and m3 parkway services

Irish rail twitter are saying there is at least 20 minutes delays to maynooth and m3 parkway services, due to overnight damage of a level
Crossing near coolmine.

I presume this is weather related

One of the level crossing gates had broken off its arm and was lying along the ground. If you were heading into town it was on the left hand side of the crossing. Gardaí and Irish rail staff were there at 8.50 when I arrived for the train. There was also a truck pulled up short of the canal bridge / level crossing with a guilty looking driver. So I dont know if he hit the gate or they came down onto him due the wind. He was blocking traffic where he was stopped so I presume the gardaí told him to stay there.
Delays were more like 30 mins. I got on the pearse train that was due at 8.37 at coolmine at 9.10.
