I welcome the comments made by Senators Fitzgerald, O'Toole and Boyle on the continuing rail strike in the south west. It is a frightful situation which is discommoding many people on a daily basis. Yesterday, I wished those participating in the talks well. Nobody understands why the situation was not resolved yesterday but I am glad the attempts to find a solution are ongoing. Senator O'Toole, as an acknowledged expert on these issues, got to the nub of the matter. The dispute is about a local interpretation and a local rule. Whatever about its rebel status, I am sure Cork does not want to be an independent republic.
