Obviously its not safe for drivers to work every day of the week, rest days are essential. Given the proposed increases in services between now and 2010 this problem will continue. Irish Rail could hire more full time drivers, but they don't really want to since they have a crazy solution in mind

There is a media blackout in force at the request of the LRC

Interesting to note Irish Rail don't pay overtime just the normal hourly rate

You are entitled to a honest explanation of why the train was cancelled which you are not getting which is a breach of the Irish Rail code of ethics

Failure to provide the timetable leaves Irish Rail in breech of there service level agreement, which sadly is not enforcable
