Full DART Service Resumes After Major Disruptions

Following driver action in an ongoing dispute, which caused over-crowding and major disruptions yesterday, Iarnród Éireann operated a full DART service today.

Drivers had refused to carry out so-called "coupling checks", which are required when more than two carriages are joined together.

Talks between management and drivers are taking place on the issue today.
