Dublin could be set for even more travel chaos as trade unions ballot their members over industrial action.

The National Bus and Rail Union (NBRU) is to ballot rail drivers on Tuesday, the Irish Independent reports, after talks with Irish Rail over working times broke down this week.

Workers want a shorter working week, similar to the UK.

And the NBRU and SIPTU are to release the results of a vote by Dublin Bus workers today over pay.

Employees were deciding over a proposed 8.2% increase in wages - a recommendation by the Labour Court.

However it is expected to be rejected and strike action could take place if an improved offer is not made.
