As previously mentioned, the decision by SIPTU and NBRU train drivers to take industrial action this morning has caused some serious disruption for Irish commuters.

Trains are expected to resume at 9am but it seems that Hailo have been enjoying a profitable morning because demand for their service in Dublin has absolutely skyrocketed.
