Talks to avert a second train drivers' strike to resume tomorrow

Last minute talks to avert a second train drivers' strike at Iarnrod Éireann will resume tomorrow morning.

The negotiations over pay and productivity broke up this evening without reaching a solution.

Around 40,000 commuters were affected by the last work stoppage at the start of the October bank holiday weekend.

Staff are threatening to walk off the job for another three hours during morning rush hour on Friday.
