Minister Ross to appear before Oireachtas committee

It's after SIPTU and the NBRU announced an all out strike from Monday – in response to the company's cost saving measures which include the axing of the Clonmel – Dublin service.

Thousands of commuters will face widespread disruption because of the industrial action.

Shane Ross will appear before an Oireachtas committee this morning – and Labour's spokesman on Transport Brendan Ryan says the Minister needs to do more to resolve the crisis.
