Firefighters have rescued a dog who became trapped under a Luas tram in Dublin earlier.

Red Line services were disrupted for a period, after the dog became lodged under a carriage at the Fatima stop at around 3.00pm.

Firefighters from Dolphins Barn were dispatched, and the dog was freed following an operation.

The dog was then assessed by a vet before being transported for further treatment.

Separately, Red Line services earlier operated with delays due to a medical emergency at Busáras.

The tram operator has apologised for any inconvenience caused.
