Irish Rail's Barry Kenny says, "unfortunately, there are 3 more scheduled and rather threatening further days of industrial action beyond that, we would urge our Trade Unions to take the opportunity listen to the request the Labour Court made that we refer issues that we could not agree back to them and stop this disruption to customers."
