Iarnród Éireann should review their Standard for Track Patrolling, I-PWY-1307, for its effectiveness in identifying any third party activities that occur inside and outside the railway boundaries that could affect safety and where any deficiencies are found, Iarnród Éireann should develop an alternative process for the identification of these third party activities.
