Bus services from Limerick City have been cancelled as a result of what Bus Éireann has described as ‘unofficial industrial action’.
In updates posted on the company’s website, it appears that services across a large part of the country have been cancelled today.
The industrial action in Limerick has resulted in a large number of services on route 51 being cancelled which serves Shannon Airport.
A company spokesperson said: “Bus Éireann regrets to announce that due to unofficial industrial action taken by a small number of our employees, all services in Limerick have been impacted and are currently not operating today, 1 October 2023. We encourage customers to check the ‘Service Updates’ section of our website.”

Our customer care team can be contacted on 01 836 6111 or customercare@buseireann.ie,” the company added.
In a post on social media, Shannon Airport said: “Passenger Notice: Please be advised there is disruption to the bus services between Limerick and Shannon Airport today with no buses running in either direction.
