by

Today marks the 19th day of strike action at Bus Éireann.

Talks broke down for the third time after an all-night discussion aimed at rectifying the issues with the state-owned bus service. 

Unions and management at the firm have been negotiating at the Workplace Relations Commission for a number of weeks. 

The issue will now be send to the Labour Court. 

"After 16 days of intensive negotiations at the Workplace Relations Commission, talks have broken down without agreement," Bus Eireann confirmed.

"The unions have now referred a number of issues to the Labour Court and the company have agreed to attend."

"The company have sought an early hearing given the urgency of the financial situation."

“We apologise to our customers for any inconvenience caused as a result of the ongoing industrial action."
