Cork, Kerry, Galway & Athlone area service disruptions, Friday 23rd May, industrial action by Corporate Communications
UPDATE: 05.00hrs, Friday 23rd May
Iarnród Éireann advises customers that a refusal by drivers based in Cork to work their normal rosters is causing significant disruption to rail services in the Cork & Kerry areas.
The stoppage by drivers commenced following a refusal by a Cork-based driver to drive his train within his core roster on Thursday, to facilitate training of new trainee drivers.
In addition, early services from Galway and Athlone are also affected this morning.
Full updated service information will be available on this webpage.
Iarnród Éireann apologises to customers for the inconvenience caused.
