Bus Éireann and protesters to meet over route change in Cork

Management from Bus Éireann will today meet with protesters following a blockade the firm claims caused major inconvenience yesterday to early-morning passengers in Cork.

Some commuters were also furious, criticising the delays caused and accusing protesters of “punishing” the city.

From 5am, vehicles were prevented by the public picket from leaving Bus Éireann’s depot in Capwell. The action was said to have impacted on approximately 2,000 commuters.
