Commuters into Ireland’s capital city are facing serious disruption as Dublin Bus services are cancelled due to a 48-hour strike over pay.
Over 400,000 passengers each day will have to make alternative travel arrangements, while city retailers have warned of the economic impact on businesses.
The first of a series of two-day Dublin Bus strikes officially began at midnight, although services were wound down from 9pm as the fleet returned to the company’s depots around the city.
The dispute arose after Dublin Bus unions rejected a Labour Court recommendation of a general 8.25{69229a139f3e1b809067d1c116a3d49b6b56689d153508a4700eadd9dd2fd1c3} pay award for all its 3,364 employees over three years (or 2.75{69229a139f3e1b809067d1c116a3d49b6b56689d153508a4700eadd9dd2fd1c3} per year) without productivity changes.
