Rail users' body slams dispute

Rail users' lobby group Platform 11 has condemned today's unofficial strike by a number of Iarnód Éireann drivers which have crippled rail services in Dublin, Cork and Limerick, but said it was not shocked by the dispute.

"On April 11, Platform 11 issued a press release outlining how industrial relation problems were delaying the introduction to service of the Iarnód Éireann latest intercity train. Iarnód Éireann in response denied any industrial relations difficulties with relation to these train," said a Platform 11 spokesman.
