Iarnrod Eireann says rail disruptions now more likely

Sunday, 14 October 2007

Iarnrod Eireann says disruptions to rail services due to strike action are now more likely, claiming that SIPTU has refused to enter talks this morning to discuss a document prepared by the Labour Relations Commission.

Thousands of rail passengers in the south of the country could be hit by a strike from midnight tonight.

Line inspection and maintenance staff, who are members of SIPTU and the NBRU, are taking the action amid concerns about work practices at Iarnrod Eireann.

Services due to be affected include routes from Cork, Kerry, Ennis and Limerick, to Dublin, as well as commuter services in Cork.

Columnist Comments

• The Belfast hotel where you check in but never leave

Wars never end. Not if you're fighting in them, even reporting them.

• Don't let sisters stop you looking for love, Cheryl

What's wrong with wanting a man? I ask because lately I've lost count of the miserable, lonely female celebrities being told by other women that they should stay single.

• Seeing is believing when it comes to the justice system

A Bill in the Queen’s Speech will, hopefully, speed up the process of letting some more sunlight into Northern Ireland’s rather musty justice system.

• So that's why their pupils were glazed in Play School

Odd period, the 1970s. I've tended to deride them as grim, which they certainly were, but I appreciate now the music and, er, that's about it. They weren't particularly happy years in Northern Ireland.

• Tragedy is opportunity for conflict resolution envoys

The Good Friday Agreement is a cure for which there is no known illness. Nowhere in its 11,000 words does it identify the problem which it purports to solve.
