If we're lucky he might take his pet project (10 minute DART) with him or it will be his departing "achievement" :)

Ah the famous ten minute DART, the project to extend rush hour chaos and delay throughout the day to address a probkem that doesn't exist.

[Jamie2k9]

Looks like more trouble on the way, IE pressing ahead with compulsory driving training and 1% pay rise with immediate affect.

The DART project is like the 06.15 from Cork, its something he wants to see introduced so not a surprise they are going to push ahead and try end the training issue.

If IÉ do get a new CEO, wouldn't it be great if it were someone who was interested in trains and rail services?

[Mark Gleeson]

CEO was appointed last week Jim Meade

It doesn't matter who is CEO (an outsider would help a bit) if there is no money
