A public meeting will be held in the Unite Hall on Abbey St on Wednesday 22 11th March at 7.30 to organize a campaign against the proposed cuts to Dublin Bus services throughout the city.

Among the speakers will be journalist Fintan OToole, broadcaster and environmentalist Duncan Stewart, and Trinity College professor James Wickham who has written extensively on public transpoprt.

The meeting is organized by a group of Dublin Bus drivers who are concerned at the cuts which would see over 120 buses withdrawn from service with hundreds of workers laid off and savage attacks on the conditions and pay of those left.
