Poll: Do you support the Dublin Bus drivers' strike?

The strikes will take place on 8, 9, 15, 16, 23 and 24 September.

DUBLIN BUS DRIVERS’ are set to strike for six days next month.

Unions are seeking a 15% pay increase over the next three years and the 6% rise they were due to get under an agreement in 2009, but which was deferred.

NBRU general secretary Dermot O’Leary accused the company of being “prepared to play Russian Roulette” by failing to make moves to resolve the dispute.

So today we’re asking, do you support the Dublin Bus drivers’ strike?
