Rail boss warns staff of damage caused by strikes

The chief executive of Iarnród Éireann has told staff that prolonged strike at the company will lead to “damage to our customers, our business, and your income”, and has urged unions to re-enter talks aimed at resolving the pay dispute.

The call came ahead of today’s 24-hour work stoppage, the second such strike this month, brought about by the deadlocked pay talks.

Further strike action across all Intercity, Dart, and commuter routes are planned for November 14, November 23, and December 8.
