Iarnród Éireann has cancelled rail services out of Cork this morning because of a dispute with drivers over the introduction of new trains.

A number of inter city and commuter trains from Heuston Station, Dublin, to Cork have also been cancelled.

The company took the decision after it said two drivers in Cork refused to operate the new trains this morning.

The drivers have not been suspended but the company says it has told them they will not be paid until they operate the new trains.

It is understood that a number of other drivers are now refusing to work in support of their colleagues.

No trains have been operating from Cork so far this morning.
