http://www.rte.ie/news/2008/0406/weather.htmlMotorists warned over subzero temperatures
Sunday, 6 April 2008 18:54
Motorists are being warned to take extra care on the roads as temperatures are forecast to plummet to -4C overnight as a cold snap descends on the country.
Brian Farrell of the Road Safety Authority says drivers should slow down as icy conditions are forecast.
Snowfalls in England have led to flight delays at Heathrow and Gatwick.
The total number of flights cancelled at Heathrow's Terminal 5 today had risen to 126. Of these cancellations, 114 (57 return flights; one in and one out) were due to snow, and the remaining 12 were down to BAA's technical fault.
Snow had also led to the cancellation of 32 BA flights (16 return flights) at Gatwick Airport.
Road access to the airport has also been hampered by snow.
Ferry sailings have also been disrupted by the weather.
This morning's Irish Ferries Jonathon Swift sailing from Dublin to Holyhead and today's 2.30pm sailing have been cancelled.
All other Irish Ferries sailings and all Stena Line services are operating normally.
The wintry conditions, which included snowfalls in parts of the country early today, have also caused the cancellation of the Co Roscommon ploughing championships in Kiltoom today.
The event, which attracts up to 5,000 people, was due to take place on a farm near Athlone. Based on today's forecast, the organising committee decided yesterday to defer the event until 27 April.
Forecasters say there is an 80% chance of heavy snow and widespread icy roads across Northern Ireland today.
Emily Gleeson of Met Éireann says the wintry weather will continue for the next couple of days.
There were frost and icy stretches in places this morning and drivers were being advised to drive with care.
Some heavy snowfalls are expected, especially across the northern half of the country, along with a risk of thunder.
However, there will be sunny spells also, which should clear any snow from lower levels.
Age Action has urged members of the general public to be good neighbours by keeping an eye out for their older relatives, friends and neighbours during the current freezing weather.
We would encourage people to drop in to ensure their older neighbour is okay and has sufficient food and fuel,'' Age Action spokesman Eamon Timmins said.0 -

http://www.buseireann.ie/site/news_centre/press_centre.asp?action=view&news_id=621Threatened Unofficial industrial action in South-West Region
Bus Éireann has learned that a small number of Part Time School Bus Drivers in the South-West region intend to engage in unofficial strike action tomorrow, Friday April 11th.
This is despite being instructed repeatedly and unambiguously by their union SIPTU to work normally. In a statement sent to all members, SIPTU said:
“This is to advise that a full Labour Court hearing regarding the issue of full flexibility has been arranged for the 16th of April 2008. This is contingent on there being no Industrial Action of any kind between now and that date. Any repeat of the unofficial action of the kind taken in Limerick could put this date in jeopardy. We urge all our members to follow the agreed procedures as accepted by the National Committee.”
A spokesperson for Bus Éireann said: “Bus Éireann strongly condemns the proposed unofficial action, as it is in breach of all agreed industrial relations procedures. Along with SIPTU, we are calling on all drivers to work as normal tomorrow and to ensure that the welfare and safety of school children is not put at risk by this wildcat action by a small number of individuals.”
“A number of conciliation conferences have been held recently to discuss the issues of pay and conditions for Part Time School Bus Drivers.”
“As part of this process, a proposal from the Labour Relations Commission (LRC) containing a significant increase in wages for Part Time School Bus Drivers in lieu of flexibilities was tabled and was recommended for acceptance by all parties. SIPTU has sought clarification on aspects of the proposal and have now referred the matter to the Labour Court for a full hearing on Wednesday April 16th 2008.”
“However, a number of individuals who engaged in unofficial action last Friday April 4th and Bus Éireann understands, intend to do so again, tomorrow Friday April 11th, are jeopardising that hearing.”
“There are agreed processes for the resolution of issues between all staff and management. The unofficial withdrawal of service, particularly when it adversely impacts on school children is totally unacceptable and is in breach of industrial relations law.”
- Advice to Parents -
Bus Éireann has been in contact with schools and VEC offices to advise them of the potential disruption. Parents in the areas affected are advised to make alternative arrangements and may contact the Bus Éireann School Transport Office in Limerick on 061 217445/6/7 for further information.
- Background -
The issue at hand relates to the aforementioned pay and flexibility proposal currently before SIPTU. Under the terms of the proposed deal, in return for a significant increase in the hourly rate, Part Time School Bus Drivers must agree to some flexible working practices, for example, school bus drivers may not necessarily be allocated to the same route at all times but may instead be required to work different school bus routes from time to time, as the need arises, to ensure value for tax payers money.
The company has given a commitment to the Labour Relations Commission that any such changes will be operated in a fair and equitable manner.
http://www.buseireann.ie/site/news_centre/press_centre.asp?action=view&news_id=622Unofficial industrial action in South-West Region
Bus Éireann is again calling on the small number of Part Time School Bus Drivers in the South-West region who are engaging in unofficial stoppage to bring an immediate end to their disruptive action.
This morning, Fri April 11th, approximately 29 drivers failed to carry out their duties, leaving approximately 2000 school children without transportation to school. (12,000 school children in the region were unaffected.) No regular city, commuter or Expressway services were affected.
Areas where some school transport services were affected were Hospital, Doon, Newport, Pallaskhenry, Kilfinan and Askeaton in Co Limerick, some parts of Co Tipperary and also Portumna in Co Galway,
The unofficial action is despite drivers being instructed repeatedly and unambiguously by their union SIPTU to work normally. In a statement sent to all members yesterday, SIPTU said:
“This is to advise that a full Labour Court hearing regarding the issue of full flexibility has been arranged for the 16th of April 2008. This is contingent on there being no Industrial Action of any kind between now and that date. Any repeat of the unofficial action of the kind taken in Limerick could put this date in jeopardy. We urge all our members to follow the agreed procedures as accepted by the National Committee.”
A spokesperson for Bus Éireann said: “Bus Éireann strongly condemns the unofficial action, as it is in breach of all agreed industrial relations procedures. Along with SIPTU, we are calling on all drivers to end this disruptive and unacceptable action, to work as normal and to ensure that the welfare and safety of school children is not put at risk.”
A number of conciliation conferences have been held recently to discuss the issues of pay and conditions for Part Time School Bus Drivers.
“As part of this process, a proposal from the Labour Relations Commission (LRC) containing a significant increase in wages for Part Time School Bus Drivers in lieu of flexibilities was tabled and was recommended for acceptance by all parties. SIPTU has sought clarification on aspects of the proposal and have now referred the matter to the Labour Court for a full hearing on Wednesday April 16th 2008.”
“However, a number of individuals who engaged in unofficial action last Friday April 4th and again today, Friday April 11th, are jeopardising that hearing.”
