Labour Court declines to recommend in Dublin Bus worker’s dispute

The Labour Court declined to make a recommendation in a dispute between Dublin Bus and a worker over driving licence requirements that led to the end of his employment. The Court’s recommendation was signed on 25 September 2025. The worker asked the Court to recommend dialogue about his employment terms. Dublin Bus said the issues had been referred to the WRC and settled between the parties. The Court said the worker was seeking to reopen matters covered by a legally binding outcome and found they could not be resolved voluntarily as an industrial relations dispute.
