Irish Rail needs tofast-track smoking ban

YOUR editorial of March 30 stated there was no room for complacency over implementation of the workplace smoking ban.

Proof of this lies with Irish Rail. A year into the workplace smoking ban, the state-owned railway company remains completely oblivious to it.

Ten years ago, critics of Irish Rail suggested that its rolling stock indicated a company stuck in the past. It is clear from the mindset of its employees that it remains stuck in the past, specifically pre-smoking ban.
