Enda Kenny defends Shane Ross’ Bus Éireann strike stance

The Taoiseach has again defended Shane Ross who has refused to get involved in the ongoing Bus Éireann strike.

The all-out strike, which has brought bus services to a halt across the country for the past six days, shows no sign of being solved with members of Irish Rail and Dublin Bus due to be balloted for “sympathy” industrial action next week.

Addressing the mounting crisis at Bus Éireann in the Dáil, Mr Kenny said that the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) is “still available” for talks to help resolve the dispute.
