I'm not a 'sugar daddy' for transport industry, says Shane Ross

Transport Minister Shane Ross has warned he will not intervene in the Dublin bus strike, saying he is not a "sugar daddy" and cannot be expected to "ride in on a white horse and shining armour with a cheque book", writes Fiachra Ó Cionnaith, Political Reporter.

The Cabinet member made the claim as he was heavily criticised by opposition TDs for "sitting on the fence" and failing to help end the capital's escalating commuter crisis.
