The National Bus and Rail Union (NBRU) has called on the National Transport Authority (NTA) and Dublin Bus to provide dedicated hospital buses for HSE staff.

In a letter to transport chiefs, General Secretary of the NBRU, Dermot O'Leary, said transport workers are concerned that capacity issues have left frontline healthcare workers unable to reach their place of work on routes with high demand.
