TÁNAISTE EAMON GILMORE has said that a negotiated settlement of the Bus Éireann dispute is in the best interests of everyone affected by the two-day strike action.

Gilmore was speaking outside government buildings this morning following the announcement that workers at the transport company had postponed strike action for 48 hours in a bid to reach an agreement with management through the Labour Relations Commission.

The Tánaiste also reaffirmed that savings of €300 million would need to be achieved in the public sector pay bill this year.
