Dublin Bus strike likely to go ahead on day of All-Ireland replay

Dublin Bus workers will not promise to postpone their planned strike on the day of the All-Ireland replay.

General Secretary of the NBRU drivers union Dermot O’Leary said the All-Ireland is a secondary consideration when it comes to their pay row.

At the moment a strike is scheduled to go ahead on Saturday October 1, when Dublin meet Mayo again in the football final.

Dermot O’Leary saif there are some things that are more important than sport.

“There are 400,000 people (Dublin commuters) that want this dispiute resolved for them to attend their work and college,” he said.

“The football match – as important as it is, and we all love our sport in this country – that’s secondary to resolving this dispute.”
