SIPTU members, who have been striking since Tuesday last, have agreed that the pickets on the East Link toll bridge will be scaled back on Saturday night, "so as not to dampen the party atmosphere" of the St Patrick's Festival.
SIPTU spokesperson Ms Ethel Buckley said "we have no wish to cause disruption to the thousands of Dubliners who have been looking forward to this weekend or to visitors to the city on Saturday night."
