Industrial Relations are a matter for Irish Rail in the first instance and are not one is which I have any role.

My Department was kept informed by the company of developments in the recent industrial relations dispute and the consequent interruption to services.

The implementation of the agreements reached, as part of the resolution of the dispute, and the ongoing conduct of industrial relations is a matter for the company in conjunction with its staff and their union representatives.
