Now we seem to be getting to the nub of the matter: "The closed shop recruitment policy prevents fully quailified drivers from other EU countries (particularly the UK) directly entering the driving grade, an NIR driver fully quailified would have to sweep platforms first and apply despite being certified to drive on the Irish Rail rule book".
Will anyone challenge this, in the courts, or somewhere in the EU bureaucracy? Given that we are making comparisons with airline pilots, it's truly bizzare and indefensible.
