Residents blocked traffic for an hour yesterday at the Ballymun roundabout to highlight a continuing industrial dispute which has left many high-rise homes without a lift service. Only 11 of the 73 lifts in the which began on June 30th, at the company which services them. They plan a two-hour blockade from 4.30 p.m. tomorrow.

Mr Sean O Cionnaith, of the Ballymun Better Lift Service campaign, said no talks were taking place between the employers' body, IBEC, and the union involved - the TEEU - and urged the Tanaiste to get both sides together.
