No buses in Dublin on busy weekend

The Irish Government comes up with the idea of 'The Gathering' to bring people of Irish descent back to the country and boost tourist numbers.

What happens? On one of the busiest holiday weekends of the year, the capital city is left without buses.

Quite extraordinary.

Over the last few days a spokesperson for Dublin Bus has tried to give the company's side of the story and a deputy chief from the National Bus and Rail Workers Union has done his best to explain why the strike has taken place.

If these two people represent what is happening on the ground at Dublin Bus is it any wonder the company is losing money.
