Bus services from Skerries, Co Dublin, were running at half their capacity for three hours yesterday morning after unofficial action by four drivers. A spokesman for Dublin Bus said it was "an arbitrary decision to leave people, on a wet morning, on the side of the road". It is understood the drivers returned to work just after 9 a.m., after advice from their trade union representatives.
A spokesman for SIPTU, which represents the drivers along with the NBRU, said the action concerned facilities at the depot in Skerries, and the matter had been addressed.
