The National Bus and Rail Union has claimed there was "mayhem" trying to accommodate passengers on a number of bus routes this morning after the 25% capacity rules came into effect.
"Thankfully no confrontation or conflict has been reported, though we are extremely conscious that frustration can lead to such a scenario", Mr. O'Leary said. He reiterated the NBRU's call for a clear plan to accommodate those required to travel for essential services, and to police capacity restrictions.
Mr. O'Leary confirmed that he has written to the CEOs of Dublin Bus, Bus Éireann and Iarnrod Éireann to ascertain their plans for additional services, and how they propose to police capacity issues during "Lockdown 2".In a statement the National Transport Authority said there were some capacity issues on some services, particularly on buses in the Dublin area.
