The Minister for Social Protection Leo Varadkar has said today that the current scheduled strike action at Dublin Bus should be suspended during negotiations.
Mr Varadkar made his comments early today before management and union members entered talks at lunchtime today.
Mr Varadkar said drivers need to show they are willing to compromise: “We’ve had a number of days of strikes, they have been very disruptive for commuters and for business in Dublin.
“I think it would help with good will all round, that while talks are underway, if they are making progress than perhaps the strikes would be suspended.”
