Labour TD at centre of rail investigation

A LABOUR TD is at the centre of an Iarnród Éireann inquiry after more than 200 commuters were delayed for more than 30 minutes because of a ticket squabble at Dublin’s Heuston Station.

Labour TD Joe Sherlock is scheduled to issue a public statement on the issue today.

Irish Rail yesterday confirmed management and gardaí boarded the 18.30pm Dublin-Mallow-Tralee train, delaying it by 31 minutes last Thursday. They spoke to a passenger who was not in possession of a ticket.
