The possibility of more commuter misery around the capital is looming larger, after Dublin Bus drivers vote in favor of industrial action.
Drivers are seeking a 15pc pay rise, in line with what their colleagues at Luas recently obtained after a sustained campaign of strikes.
The proposed 24- and 48-hours long strikes may go ahead later this month, if no solution can be reached.
SIPTU officials have urged management at Dublin Bus to return to the negotiating table to avoid the ‘real prospect’ of strike action.
