Drivers to discuss restoring Finglas bus service

DUBLIN bus drivers will meet today to decide if they will restore night-time services to parts of Finglas following a series of violent incidents on routes serving the north Dublin suburb over the past few weeks.

Earlier this week, unions representing Dublin Bus workers decided to curtail some Finglas services after 7pm over the Easter weekend amid concern for the safety of drivers and passengers.

A meeting convened by gardaí which was attended by Dublin Bus management and unions as well as local public representatives was held yesterday. Among those who attended the meeting were Fianna Fáil junior minister Pat Carey and Sinn Féin councillor Dessie Ellis.
