Statement by Minister on Unions acceptance of LC recommendation

The Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Shane Ross T.D., today welcomed the results of the final ballot and the decision by all trade unions in Bus Éireann to accept the Labour Court's Recommendation.
Minister Ross stated –
"I am pleased that all trade unions have voted to accept the Recommendation and that management and employees can now move on with building a successful and sustainable future for Bus Éireann.
I would once again like to thank the Workplace Relations Commission and the Labour Court for their efforts to successfully bring about a settlement to this dispute.
These institutions have once again shown that such disputes; however intractable; can be resolved by responsible parties.
On that note, I would also like to thank management, trade unions and employees for their hard work to resolve this difficult dispute.
As I have previously stated repeatedly, I am committed to establishing a dialogue with all public transport stakeholders and further details will be announced shortly."
