A spokesperson said: "Candidates must be willing to work various shift patterns, including weekend work for between 39 and 48 hours a week.

"These new drivers will be based in different depots right around the network.

''Iarnród Éireann encourages people from all over the country to apply.

"Successful candidates will be placed on a salary scale, which will reach up to €60,000 per annum."

There are a few conditions however:

Applicants must meet European Train Driver Licensing requirements with a minimum of nine years full-time education and must be over the age of 20.
