Irish Rail probes bullying claims

AN INTERNAL investigation is under way at Irish Rail after a number of workers lodged formal complaints with company management over alleged bullying.

It is understood that at least five Iarnród Éireann workers have lodged complaints within the past month relating to a number of incidents that are alleged to have taken place this year.

A solicitor representing the men confirmed that the workers had lodged complaints and were awaiting the results of an internal investigation.
