Ah yes, Germany! A great place Irish Rail should go for fucking trains. If you think rail is bad in Ireland Germany is on a whole other level of shite
37 is rather a lot but that being said it’s a not very far away European rail fair. You’d expect Irish rail to be there. It’s also nothing to do with DB and its current issues.
I am sorry but **37 senior officials** should be the most concerning thing here.
Seems like a big number of senior managers for a company with ~4000 employees unless they are using the term ‘senior officials’ to cover managers as well.
Still a massive deligation to send to a trade show.
Sounds like a big jolly up. The cost related to this assuming 37 people at €150 return flights each plus we’ll say €150 hotel per night for 3 nights (probably more as senior staff might gets fancier accom) and then you have subsistence pay, meal allowance etc. is well over €25k at the lower bound. Such a waste of money when they could’ve sent 5 people. Public bodies are just burning money at this stage
They will come back with nothing except those free gift bags with pens and umbrellas, I guarantee it.
In fairness you do need 37 people to find the best deal for all those train sheds we need to build.
Did Irish Rail want the timetable changes?
Nope.
NTA wanted it and forced it through, despite objections.
Ireland!
Another of the “build the outrage” articles in the media
I expect this trip was planned months in advance. If anything Ireland needs idea from Europe on trains and how to run them.
Sending 37 peopel away and the timetables have nothing to do with each other.
The people that are constantly outraged will be outraged.
Absolutely nothing wrong with sending people to this, it has nothing to do with current issues. Typical Irish media relentlessly looking to stoke outrage. Tge 37 number might be a bit high (but we don’t know details of what they’re doing at the event, maybe it’s justified).
Why can’t we have transport system like I saw on my holidays_______
Irish Rail go see this transport system and everybody whines, send 37 more Irish Rail and bring us back some nice stuff.
