Dublin Bus drivers stage city centre protest

Up to 500 Dublin Bus drivers have taken part in a protest in Dublin city centre today as part of the strike action taking place at the company's Harristown depot.

Drivers based at the depot have been on strike since Monday morning due to a row over the introduction of two new routes.

They say drivers on the routes will see their working week increase by several hours if they agree to a Dublin Bus plan that they start and finish their shifts in the city centre.

Tens of thousands of commuters have been affected by the dispute.
