The last comment.
The real shock is what is going on inside CIE, that nobody knows about.

And the employees steeling railway sleepers is the tip of the iceberg. Maybe because railway sleepers are big and cumbersome, it makes a hilarious analaogy. But really CIE is about much more than missing railway planks. It is about the planks that are running a large expensive company and who are the reason why nothing is transported by rail, and why everything is transported by lorry.

I heard of mechanics slowing down their work so as to build up a need for overtime. About bus drivers letting on pals for free. About managers who do nothing all day long. About hierarchies of wasters. About FF and the Irish Labour Party filling CIE with political appointees.

CIE is a ‘protected species’ in the Irish economy.
