Cork & Kerry area service disruptions, Saturday 24th & Sunday 25th May: UPDATE by Corporate Communications

UPDATE: 18.30hrs, Saturday 24th May

Iarnród Éireann is pleased to advise customers that all Galway and Westport line services are operating normally again, following Friday's disruption.

However, a refusal by drivers based in Cork to work their normal rosters continues to cause significant disruption to rail services in the Cork & Kerry areas.

The stoppage by drivers commenced following a refusal by a Cork-based driver to drive his train within his core roster on Thursday, to facilitate training of new trainee drivers.

Full updated service information will be available on this webpage.

Iarnród Éireann apologises to customers for the inconvenience caused.
