Time for talking to resolve bus dispute

AFTER the chaos inflicted on the public by this week’s bus strike, it is imperative that five more days of mayhem do not happen. 

As Kieran Mulvey, chief executive of the Labour Relations Commission, put it yesterday, this dispute will only be resolved around the table and not on the streets.

Unions and management should heed his call for the war of words to stop. And when they return to the LRC, they must be prepared to engage constructively without reiterating the mantra which the public has grown sick of hearing.
