It's said that Kingsbridge Station was built close to the Phoenix Park and the nearby British Army barracks so that the British could move its troops and soldiers quickly and easily out of Dublin to places where trouble may arise. It was the job of the British Army to keep the Irish down, to subjugate them at all times and at all costs.
Anyone who is following English labour relations these days must see great irony in the fact that it's an Irish man who is bringing the railways to a stand still. The general secretary of the RMT is Mick Lynch, born in London to Cork parents.
And while the trains are marshalled in their depots and stations the nurses will stage a major strike.
Head of the Royal College of Nurses is Tyrone woman Pat Cullen. This coming Thursday she will lead over 270,000 nurses in the largest strike in the UK's National Health Service's history - the first time nurses in England, Wales and Northern Ireland have gone on strike together.
