Union: Varadkar 'has taken over control' of Bus Eireann dispute

The Transport Minister Leo Varadkar has called on the NBRU to re-enter talks with Bus Eireann and he has rejected suggestions that he has issued any instructions to company management.

The National Bus and Rail Union has accused Minister Varadkar of stopping management from engaging in talks to resolve the strike, which has hit more than 95% of Bus Eireann services.
