Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications

Iarnród Éireann: Chairman Designate

10:40 am

Mr. Philip Gaffney:

Apologies, I misinterpreted the Deputy. In terms of industrial relations, the staff has seen reductions in overtime and allowances. There are reports that we are in negotiations with staff for further reductions, as the Deputy said, averaging 1.6% to 6% at senior levels. Those reductions have already been implemented for all the management staff of Iarnród Éireann as well as for board members and myself. We have been working very hard with our staff and unions to ensure we do not get into a position whereby there is any stoppage of service due to staff action. We will continue to engage with the unions to ensure that does not happen.
