GAA fans face travel chaos as rail workers time stoppages for finals

GAA fans are in the line of fire as rail workers draw up plans for three work stoppages over four days in response to moves by Iarnród Éireann to cut pay.

The National Bus and Railworkers’ Union is planning a 48-hour work stoppage starting on Sunday, August 24, which will coincide with the All-Ireland senior football semi-finals in Croke Park.

There is a possibility of Cork and Kerry being pitted against each other.
