Union representatives at Bus Éireann are hopeful a resolution can be found at today’s talks.

Delegates have been locked in discussions at the Workplace Relations Commission all weekend in a bid to solve the long running dispute over cost cutting measures at the company.

Strike action at the bus network is now in its 18th day, with thousands of commuters and business affected across the country.

Pickets remain in place at depots across Tipperary – the cost cutting plans implemented by Bus Éireann include the axing of the Clonmel – Dublin Expressway service and the closure of the Clonmel depot.

Dermot O’ Leary of the NBRU says both sides committed last night to try and reach a resolution in 24 hours.
