The Labour Court recommended accepting Irish Rail’s staffing rationalisation proposals for the Limerick Cement Factory siding, with a review after six months. The recommendation was signed on 27 August 1990. Irish Rail sought to reduce staffing from 13 operatives to six. The Services Industrial Professional Technical Union and the National Association of Transport Employees opposed the proposal, citing workload changes and safety concerns. The Court also recommended that the company and the unions discuss how the new arrangements operated and any issues arising after the review period.
