Irish Rail Calls Off Planned Strike
Irish Rail has called off a planned strike less than two hours before it was expected to begin.
The Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Paschal Donohoe TD, said it was a "welcome relief for commuters" and commended the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC).
He said: "Clearly there were determined efforts by all involved to seek a resolution to the dispute, which unfortunately was not possible. I welcome the fact that matters will now be discussed further at the Labour Court. As I have said many times in the past, the industrial relations resolution bodies of the State are the ones best placed to find a solution and to mediate in such instances."
