Title: Industrial action - Iarnr^d ^ireann (Irish Rail)
Post by: WEX-RSB-FGH-BPW-PAD on August 22, 2014, 18:14:43
Unfortunately two consecutive days of industrial action look set to go ahead this Sunday & Monday, August 24th & 25th, 2014 respectively.

For SailRail passengers travelling via Fishguard-Rosslare the following points may be of note:

* The majority of onward journeys from Rosslare are still possible by bus (Bus ^ireann serve the port) though a change may be necessary.

* SailRail tickets are not valid on buses to Wexford/Dublin.

* The situation is potentially a changing one so the first point of reference for "the latest" is the homepage of the Iarnr^d ^ireann website.

Three further days of industrial action are planned for September.
