The Labour Court recommended that the National Association of Transport Employees and the Irish Transport and General Workers' Union accept Irish Rail's proposal to reorganise Sunday train-cleaning services on a one-year trial. The recommendation was signed on 6 October 1987. The unions sought to restore Sunday cleaning rosters for three depot staff, citing passenger comfort, cleaning standards and lost overtime. Irish Rail said staffing should reflect the reduced workload and passenger numbers. The Court recommended the company's compromise proposal for a one-year trial.
