Rail strike continues into second day

It looks like the rail disruption is going to go into it's second day.Iarnrod Eireann says it can't guarantee services form Dublin and the south west to be running , including services to and from Limerick's Colbert station.

The dispute centres on the opposition by rail drivers to the introduction of new trains.

There is little optimism that an early settlement can be achieved.
35,000 people were forced to cancel their journeys or make alternative arrangements as a result of the cancellation of rail services to many parts of the country yesterday.
