Sir, - The insistence of Iarnrod Eireann management that ILDA drivers return to work using the new rosters - surely the nub of the problem - before they will listen to their grievances is contributing in no small measure to the continuation of this dispute. It is like asking turkeys to vote for Christmas.
The travelling public demands that Iarnod Eireann demonstrates some creative management skills, formal and informal, to settle this prolonged agony affecting travellers and drivers alike. - Yours, etc.,
Philip R. Flood, Ailesbury Grove, Dublin 16.
