Mr. Greg Ennis:

All the trade unions, including our union, dispute what is in the letter dated 16 January. This union wrote to the company the following day, on 17 January, about that letter but we have still not received a response. To back up what my colleague from the NBRU said, within a week of that letter of 16 January, on 23 January, in the area where I live in Meath, for example, the Dublin to Ratoath 10.29, the Dublin to Kells 16.30 and 18.30, and the Dublin to Belfast 23.00 buses did not run. They did not run because of the implications of the changes put forward on 16 January. This crisis is escalating day by day without the threats that we believe will kick in from Sunday night, Monday morning. There is a raft of other routes that have not taken place as well.
