Iarnród Éireann apologies for passenger ‘discomfort’
Iarnród Éireann has apologised to passengers this afternoon over reported problems with overcrowding on the 9am Sligo to Dublin service this morning.

Maintenance problems yesterday led to the today’s train having only three carriages instead of the usual six.

Some passengers contacted Ocean FM News today saying they feared for their safety.

Barry Kenny of Iarnród Éireann says passengers were not put at risk but it is a situation that won’t arise again.
