Strike On Here

Bus Éireann is claiming that as much as 95% of all services are disrupted as a result of strike action taken by National Bus and Rail Union.

Transport Minister Leo Varadkar has described the striking workers' action as regrettable and has urged the union to 'immediately engage with the company in talks' aimed at finding a resolution.

Bus Éireann is pursuing a cost cutting exercise of €5million on the direction of the Labour Court. Yet the strike action its policy has provoked s is estimated to lose the company €200, 000 a day.

Up to 80, 000 passengers are expected to be inconvenienced by the stoppage.
