Services are getting back to normal.
Secondary pickets have now been lifted on Dublin Bus depots and services are returning to normal, following Friday morning’s spontaneous industrial action by Bus Éireann workers.
Thousands of people were left making alternative arrangements as Dublin Bus, DART and Iarnród Éireann services were disrupted by secondary picketing by striking Bus Éireann workers.
Those pickets are now lifted.

Speaking to Morning Ireland on RTE Radio One this morning, Minister for Transport Shane Ross said that he was disgusted by the unjustified and unfair actions taken this morning, and urged the parties involved in the strike to get together and work out a solution as soon as possible.
However, he reminded listeners that he would not intervene in an industrial relations dispute, stating that “It would be illegal for me to give state aid.”
The response was mixed, to say the least.
