Speaking following the acceptance this afternoon (Friday) of the Labour Relations Commission proposals in respect of Irish Rail, the Minister for Transport Tourism and Sport, Paschal Donohoe TD, said: ‘I welcome the outcome of the ballot this afternoon of both SIPTU and the NBRU unions at Irish Rail. I recognise the contribution this makes to the future viability of the company as it seeks to address the financial challenges that lie ahead. I would also like to acknowledge in particular the work of the Labour Relations Commission in working with the parties to bring this dispute to a resolution.”
