    I'm probably the last person to know, but all the bus drivers are in Smithfield today, giving out about something, from 2pm - 5pm.

    Nice to see they're having consideration for traffic by having it outside peak times (although peak time is all the time now in dublin...rant....rant.....rant)

    Ah to be fair, there's more to it.

    The Irich Congress of Trade Unions have called for a general protest to try and raise the level of statuary redunancy payment to 3 weeks per year of service, and to also support those workers who were made redundant by various companies lately, where the company has declined to abide by a labour court ruling regarding the layoffs

    i believe they intend to march from Smithfield to the Dail. As a result Dublin BUs has curtailed their services, because of the march, but they are hoping for most staff to show for work.

    Of course, that could be wishful thinking:rolleyes:
