Nobody's going to court for this-we just want corrective actions taken so it doesn't happen again so we don't need proof beyond reasonable doubt. The IRSC won't know IE drivers have problems stopping trains unless they are informed. Picture the scene;

IRSC guy;"We've had a report about the 17.59 ex Bray overshooting the platform etc. Can we see the black box data please?"
IE guy;"No can do bud, you need the coach number"
IRSC guy;"Find out what set was rostered on that train and find out which coaches led the formation or we'll find out for you"
IE guy;"Ok Ok bud"

If even they make IE aware that they are aware of the issue and are keeping an eye on it it's a job well done. It's not our job as P11 to predict that because IE's response (or lack of) will be lack-lustre and hence do nothing about it, it's our jb to hang 'em out to dry when they're potentially putting people in serious harms way. Even stepping off the train could break an ankle/wrist, particularly in the elderly.
