Services hit on Sligo/Dublin rail line due to bus strike

Train services between Sligo and Dublin are being hit because of the Bus Eireann strike.

There will be limited services on intercity trains between Dublin and several counties including Sligo, Limerick, Galway, Sligo and Waterford.

While there will be no services on Cork commuter trains or on lines between Waterford and Limerick Junction, and Limerick to Galway.

A list of cancelled services is on IrishRail-dot-ie.

SIPTU's Willie Noone apologised for disruption to passengers, but says workers feel the strike is justified.
