Ray Hernan, acting CEO of Bus Éireann
In a letter yesterday Bus Éireann’s Acting CEO Ray Hernan notified staff of the immediate implementation of reforms, and said that there was no basis for convening further talks.
In a statement this afternoon, the NBRU said the letter:
“is clearly the straw that has broken the back in terms of spelling out exactly what the real agenda is here, the new management structure at Bus Éireann have clearly signalled that they are intent on pursuing a race to the bottom in relation to workers jobs, terms and conditions.
And to reposition Bus Éireann as a low cost transport provider, mimicking some of the rogue operators that populate the so-called interurban market.”
FIGHT!

Does this room look familiar?
Part of a much larger art project called the 14th Factory in Los Angeles’ Lincoln Heights district, this is a faithful recreation of the bedroom from 2001: A Space Odyssey by artist Simon Birch and architect Paul Kember, whose uncle and great uncle were draughtsmen on Stanley Kubrick’s movie and worked on the original set.
Part of the attraction appears to be that visitors can interact with the room, sit on the chairs and lie on the bed, which is a rare treat for Kubrick fans as the director was notoriously obsessed with destroying all props and sets once he’d used them.
To whom it concerns….
It’s ‘The Alternative Late Late Show’.
By Boys, Boys, Boys.
Infectious and creepy.
This afternoon.
Derry
Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams with Mary Lou McDonald and large crowds line the streets of the Free Derry corner with the coffin of Martin McGuinness as it passes by the 1972 Bloody Sunday mural as they makes their way to St Columba’s Church (above).
More as we get it.
