Luas services in Dublin have been resumed following a suspension earlier this evening. 

All services had been suspended in the wake of a report of "suspicious activity" on a tram.

A garda spokesperson told the Irish Examiner that gardaí "are currently working with Luas operators in relation to a phone call made regarding suspicious activity on a Luas tram this evening."

"No further information is available at this time," the spokesperson said. 

In an update shared on social media, Luas operators confirmed the suspension of services as a result of an "incident" but did not go into detail on the cause.

Luas operators advised people to expect delays while services begin to resume across the capital.
