Striking coach drivers reject peace deal

Irish holidaymakers in the Balearic Islands can expect further flight delays over the coming days after striking coach drivers rejected an offer designed to bring an end to their pay dispute.

The coach drivers have caused chaos at airports in Majorca, Menorca and Ibiza because tourists have been forced to wait for hours for a limited number of taxis.

There are now fears that the drivers could escalate their strike.

It was expected to end at midnight tonight, but could become indefinite.
