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.
