Plan to open up public transport system still on the road to nowhere

The Dublin Bus strike is a skirmish in a long war.

The readiness to throw Granny under the bus, take the bus pass out of her handbag, and take the cash instead tells you a lot about the power play in progress. Leo Varadkar came under a lot of pressure to step in, to do something…

COMING back on the bus from hikes with the Cub Scouts, down the mountains into Dublin, belting out… “O ye canna shove yer Granny aff a bus, O ye canna shove yer Granny”, was great bravado altogether. Thirty youngsters, covered in muck, full of vim and red lemonade losing the run of themselves.
