Bus strike to leave thousands stranded across country

Tens of thousands of commuters have been left stranded today as Bus Éireann workers stage an all-out indefinite strike.

The strike is expected to create chaos across the country with workers, students and patients disrupted as all services including Expressway, regional services, and city services such as those in Cork and Limerick grind to a halt.

The Friday strike will especially impact on pensioners who usually would pick up payments today as well as third-level students who travel home for the weekend.
