Bus Éireann driver, Mark Greaney says they are hoping the public will support their marches on Thursday morning.

Meanwhile, the Dáil's heard claims that the Bus Eireann strike would have been solved long ago if it affected Dublin.

That's according to Fianna Fáil, which has raised concern that the strike is now in its 12th day with little sign of a deal.
