An unofficial strike by Bus Éireann drivers is severely affecting bus services in Limerick today.
The 'wildcat' strike has resulted in short notice delays and major service cancellations to services in the city.
Bus Éireann says the issue only arose yesterday.
It says there is the potential for "sudden delays and cancellations" throughout the day.
The bus company is apologising to customers and says it has been encouraging the use of dispute resolution to try and settle the issue.
