Iarnród Éireann Biodiversity Guidelines
The company’s Biodiversity Guidelines provides a comprehensive handbook to all infrastructure staff to protect the natural environment – including animal, plant and marine life - encountered in the management of maintenance of tracks, stations, bridges, signalling and electrical equipment.
The railway corridor, for both passenger and freight services, passes through a range of different land types and requires regular maintenance of tracks, stations, bridges, signalling and electrical equipment. These Biodiversity Guidelines will ensure all essential works carried out consider the complete ecosystem at any location and ensure works are carried out without interfering with or having impact on the surrounding environment.
