The company says everyone's safe and well, and has apologised for the disruption to services.
Railway staff had to deal with two animal intruders on lines in Kildare and Meath this morning.
Firstly, a cow disrupted services when it stepped onto the tracks between Dunboyne and Hansfield.
Infrastructure team members later had to attend the line near Leixlip to collect a stray horse.

Bulling to get to work at Hansfield but staying behind the yellow line, and Nigel is a horse of a man helping another stray from the line near Leixlip.
Men and beasts safe and well. 🦺👍 Apologies for resulting delays. pic.twitter.com/vjT1tV3eQl
