Irish Rail is hiring up to 80 train drivers as part of a new recruitment campaign.
The national transport firm is encouraging women to consider driving roles, with an increasing number of women in recent trainee classes. Recent drivers have come from a diverse range of careers from banking to airlines, from defence forces to archaeology and much more.
The roles will be based at locations including Dublin (DART, Connolly and Heuston), Cork, Limerick, Galway, Portlaoise, and Waterford. The news comes as part of an investment programme which will see rail services grow over the coming years.
