Unions at Irish Rail have announced plans for five 24-hour strikes as part of a pay dispute with the company.

It follows a meeting on Friday afternoon.

It'll see full-day stoppages on the following dates:

  • Wednesday November 1st
    Tuesday November 7th
    Tuesday November 14th
    Thursday November 23rd
    Friday December 8th

The November 14th date will clash with the Ireland v Denmark World Cup Play-off at Lansdowne Road.

It comes after union members at Irish Rail voted 'overwhelmingly' in favour of industrial action.

SIPTU members voted by 84% in favour of action amid the ongoing pay dispute at the transport company, while NBRU members backed industrial action by 93%.

The ballot counts come only hours after talks broke down at the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) overnight.

NBRU General Secretary Dermot O'Leary earlier explained the unions' views on last night's talks:
