The Labour Court recommended that Bus Eireann restore a €161 settling-in allowance for spare drivers in locations where it had been discontinued, but did not recommend retrospective payment. The recommendation was signed on 1 November 2021. The dispute also concerned meal-allowance rules and a second meal allowance. The Services Industrial Professional Technical Union, representing the workers, sought retrospective application of the five-hour meal-allowance criterion. The Court did not recommend conceding that claim. It recommended that the parties return to conciliation over the second meal allowance.
