No end in sight for Dublin Bus pay dispute

A resolution to the Dublin Bus pay dispute is not getting any closer after unions announced a further 13 strike days and Transport Minister Shane Ross refused to intervene in the deepening row.

With the company losing €600,000 for each day that drivers strike, it denounced the planned action days as unnecessary and unjustified.

Passengers are facing a second successive day today without services in Dublin, and the prospect of another 48-hour stoppage next Friday and Saturday were previously announced.
