Well it does take time and this is very complex since it relates to several bodies and has widespread impact, but we should have had the report in public within a month of it being finished, its contents are hardly unexpected

I doubt we will be seeing this anytime soon, buried in the report is a need to totally restructure CIE, it shouldn't have any union impact all it changes is management and funding however when that great day arrives that the DTA put the foot down it on service provision things are going to get really painfull in Irish Rail since the current love in they have with the DoT will be gone

All this service standard stuff already exists but is not legally enforceable, then again no one has ever seen the standard
