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.

This toad is a vile self serving traitor of the highest order. Fukk off back under your rock. The political wing of SIPTU are finished come the next election. Dirt. Utter dirt!
What a joke … He said Sunday that there would be no more cuts to child benefit and then also on Sunday Joan Bruton said that there would be no kite flying before the budget…Who the he’ll do they think they are

Is it a march Len or a local demo?
Its a national demo. No such thing as local no more al. This country is f*****. Your hometown is my hometown and vice versa my man.

Now do the world a favour and crawl away under a sewer where you belong with the rest of the paracites.
Bahhhhhhhh sheep head
God this vile man hasn’t an ounce of credibility.
Baaaa
The “Labour” Party. Lol!
Gilmore, give us back that 500,000 for that field you p$#$#$!!!!!
If Bus Éireann is loss making and pay can’t be agreed let them go bust! Another company will come along if there is a chance of profit. The government shouldn’t be involved in a company that needs a profit
Like the way the government part funded the purchase of brand new busses for private operators?
What happens to people on non-profitable routes? They can just go and sh1te can they?
Exactly scar.
That’s what will happen WHEN they sell it off.
Race to the bottom.
Look at the big picture folks.
Greyhound are doing a great job at collecting the rubbish eh em not!
And they’re also charging a hefty fee for their “service” serious folks wake up and take notice of what’s happening.
What did that red faced man say again?
I zoned out when he started to dribble words down his fat chin.
Who’d believe Gilmore.
Cut the pay bill, start with the goverment and the freeloader pensions
Eamon Gilmore, a bullshit political soundbite personified.
Comments from à politically dead Man walking, WHO cares what hé Says
What the hell are the labour party’s credentials, I must have missed that course on how to drive an economy underground or was it into the ground !!!??? The labour party’s face is up FG’s and Ends & his FG’s are up Merkl’s . What a stink ?
That would make a brilliant newspaper cartoon. Any budding artists on here?
Now imagine when Merkel takes a dump :-):-):-)
Sounds like The Human Centipede.
Enduring image
Fuc* Howlin the bollox.
The last accounts filed for Bus Eireann show a profit of almost 500,000 after tax for 2011, RTE made a loss of 70 million in 2012 and will most like have just as big one this year, where is the clamour for job cuts at the governments main propaganda machine??
Why has there been no outrage at the government bailout of the other propagandists INM and TCH which between them recieved a bailout of almost 200M from us through our ownership of the banks?
And can any of the hypocrites insulting people fighting for their rights explain that one??
Happy should explain the meaning of “Negotiated settlement”, to his party and Government assistant the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, as that wee Hitler does not know the meaning of the phrase. Actually does Happy even know the meaning himself?
why don’t they just legislate a pay cut and new terms and conditions. if they can do it for public sector workers the can do it for anyone.
Sandra
If they do that they will have to include themselves, and they won’t allow themselves be treated in the same way as ordinary people, that why.
The Labour Party will not cut wage rates!
That what a sensible Government would do!
The Labour Party political wing of the Trade Unions.
Look after workers at all costs.
Do not offend the real Government – the Trade Unions – Jack O Connor et al!
No wonder we are bankrupt!
Shame on Fine Gael to continue this appalling Government!
The Labour Party is a “Puppet on a String ” controlled and funded by Trade Unions.
What a conflict of interest!
Fine Gael should Call a General Election.
Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil should unite and try to run the Country in a correct and honourable way.
Every TD in future Elections should be asked to take an oath confirming that he/she will act honourably and will Not take bribes while serving as. TD.
What is Enda going to do about the Lowry tapes?
Drive a bus up his hole make that a double decker bus
As i have said numerous times on the journal , this betrayer of working class politics and leader of a tribe of liers has lost all credibility with the people he purports to represent
Slimey sneaky little bastard.
Like I said before. The government can’t allow the strike to continue in the interest of the economy. Strikers were always going to win and good luck to them.
So umm, why all the hatred towards this dude I think he’s cool. Everyone just blaming him for the recession are they?
Not blaming him for it, just the lies he used to get in power!
Holy shit batman
have your say
