Calls For Bus Strike To Be Prevented At All Costs

Transport Minister Paschal Donoghue is urging all sides in the Dublin Bus and Bus Éireann row to go back around the talks table. 

Drivers at both companies will hold seven days of strike action next month, over both bank holiday weekends, in a row over plans to privatise ten per cent of bus routes. 

Clare Fianna Fáil TD Timmy Dooley says the Minister needs to prevent the strike at all costs, and believes it will have a devastating impact on the entire country.
