A former bus driver who was given a four-year driving ban after causing the death of a cyclist has claimed he was unfairly dismissed from his job by Dublin Bus.

Osborn Irabor, aged 60, has begun an appeal at the Labour Court against a ruling by the Workplace Relations Commission that Dublin Bus had not unfairly terminated his employment.
