Noticeable drop in footfall in Cork city due to Bus Éireann strike

Striking bus drivers marched through the streets of Dublin yesterday but the issue in Cork City and other areas affected by the continuing dispute is the opposite: A noticeable drop in footfall.

Retail Ireland said there is “anecdotal evidence” from around the country the lack of bus services were impacting on trade.

And in Cork City, the owner of a popular cafe has claimed if the dispute was affecting Dublin, it would already have been resolved.
