It really is Friday the 13th for commuters in the capital this morning.
Luas drivers are on strike once more on Friday, with both the Red and Green line services out of action for the duration of the day.
There are several more days of strike action planned over the next month, resuming on May 26 and 27, before another half a dozen stoppages occur in June, each over four-hour periods.
While the Luas services are set to resume as normal on Saturday morning, many commuters have been impacted by this morning’s strike.
Here is just some of the angry reaction, with people having to make alternative arrangements.
Sick of the #luas strike at this stage… Sack the lot of them

This is the first luas strike that has affected me in any way. Now, I too am outraged. #luas… https://t.co/jRW9HDTL2K

Another day, another batch of pedestrians walking the #Luas tracks. Are we at the 'enough is enough' point yet?

The amount of people on the bus when the luas strikes

@dublinbusnews why are 7:30,7:35 and 7:40 16s not running. With Luas off there's extra pressure on these buses anyway #dublinbus #wasters

Just realised it's Friday the 13th. Guh. So: Luas strike, ridiculously early start AND bad luck day? Bound to end well so
