Level crossing incident figures released

Figures from Irish Rail say the incidents resulted in a person, vehicle, or property being struck by a train or barrier.

The majority of them involved vehicles, while five involved pedestrians.
 
In one incident in Dublin, a lady pushing a pram was hit by the barrier as it closed, narrowly avoiding serious injury. 

Separately, a pedestrian under the influence of alcohol was spotted on the tracks, having ignored level crossing warning signs that a train was approaching.
