Rail services returning to normal after eight-day strike

Dublin- Rail services in Cork and Kerry are returning to normal this morning following eight days of unofficial strike action by train drivers.

The standoff erupted last week as part of a row over the flexibility of drivers' work practices. However, the Cork-based employees at the centre of the action agreed to return to work yesterday under a deal brokered by the Labour Relations Commission. Iarnród Éireann says there will still be some disruption to services today, but the network will be fully operational for the bank holiday weekend.
