To be fair, Irish Rail did not comply with the safety rules in force which ban such practices.
The CRR is angry because the paper trail clearly shows Irish Rail's safety organisation had identified the risk and called stop. Management overruled.
Sounds a bit like the Challenger accident all over again
Just because it was safe in the past, doesn't mean it was acceptable, far too many accidents of people injured climbing out of a train. While those of us who did it in the past on a daily basis think nothing of it, for someone doing it for the first time it could go wrong.
