"No date for restoration" of Irish Rail catering services

There is no date set for the restoration of the Irish Rail catering services, a spokesperson told the Westmeath Independent.

It comes amid reports that the services, which have been suspended since March of 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, were due to be restored on all intercity services before the end of the year.

"We have not said that catering would be back by the end of the year," said a spokesperson for Irish Rail.

"We are continuing to engage with potential market providers to allow a cost-effective restoration of catering services, but this is not yet resolved."
