Luas drivers set to serve notice of EIGHT more days of strike

Luas drivers are expected to serve notice today of up to eight extra strike days for next month.

The Dublin tram service shut for the tenth time last week as drivers took to the picket lines in the long-running dispute over pay.

Luas operator Transdev stands to lose €100,000 every day the drivers strike and management at the company insist that the 23% pay claim sought by the workers is "unaffordable".

Four more days of industrial action are also planned for May 13, 20, 26 and 27.
