Dublin pickets disrupt railway and bus services nationwide

Secondary picketing relating to the Bus Eireann strike caused train services across the country to be cancelled and Dublin Bus services to operate at a heavily reduced capacity this morning (Friday 31^st March).

Tens of thousands of people were forced to make alternate travel plans amid huge disruption to Irish Rail inter city services, Dart services, and Dublin Bus services on top of the strike at Bus Eireann.

Pickets at Irish Rail were stood down at 10am but the knock-on effects of the action will be felt for the remainder of the day, according to an Irish Rail spokeswoman. Disruption to inter-city service is expected to be minimal this afternoon.
