Yes, the DoT should tender the work seeing as they are funding the Midleton work.
When I wrote no strike clause in the contract I meant the current situation whereby the Veolia employees have an no strike clause in their contracts with Veolia thus enabling Veolia carry out the services that they are paid to do by the RPA. I didnt actually mean a no strike clause between the provider and IE as that will be covered by the contract stipulations but you get my gist.
It is certainly the most efficient way forward in this particular industry and I do think Cobh, Mallow and then Midleton would be good prototypes for IE to start looking at that.
How the current Cork based drivers would react to that tho? Would they withdraw services and be entitled to do so under the LRC terms in opposition?
