The first SIPTU two-day strike saw 90,000 daily users caught out looking for an alternative route into the city centre. According to RTÉ, SIPTU Divisional Organiser Owen Reidy has said that they are open to negotiation, however Transdev, which lost €700,000 last year has branded the claim as excessive. As one of the biggest days in the Irish tourism calendar, the Luas has previously run every 12-15minutes as one of the main routes to the national parade running through the city centre.Bad news for #Luas passengers: #SIPTU escalates industrial action with 24 hr strikes on 8th and 17th March - St Patricks Day
