This brings Rosin Shorthall's empathy for public transport users contained in this latest manifesto in real persective. The Labour Party document is more about creating 500 more union jobs at CIE, while undermning the Luas than any compassion Rosin Shorthall may have for people standing at bus stops as she is driving past them.
But fair enough I'll drop it so.

Eh no....don't drop it as its actually relevent this time, because the NBRU have threatened strike action and the Labour/Union link is very strong. However the aforementioned Labour/Union link is very dodgy indeed if one looks close enough and I agree with N Fitz that its about the great unwashed. Labour want to look working class, but that aspect of their make up was probably shot with James Connolly.
