Greyhound workers, at a mass meeting on the picket line in Dublin, have agreed to suspend their blockade currently under way at the Crag Avenue depot in Clondalkin after Greyhound director Michael Buckley agreed to meaningful direct negotiations with the workers.

Speaking this morning on hearing the news from the Greyhound picket line at Crag Avenue that Michael Buckely is loading staff members onto coaches in order to bring them down to the courts for a counter protest, People Before Profit councillor Tina MacVeigh said: "This is a display of utter contempt on Buckely's part for all of his workers, the striking workers in particular, but also the other 400 who he is now manipulating in a sick manouevre."
