Bus passengers in Limerick were left without a service this morning due to an unofficial stoppage by drivers.

Full services resumed after 10.30am after discussions with union representatives.

There were no city, provincial or inter-city services leaving the Limerick depot from 7am, Bus Éireann confirmed.

It is understood the stoppage related to the disciplining of a bus driver at the depot but the company could not confirm this. Bus Éireann spokesman Barry Coyle said, however, the stoppage was "totally unofficial".
