Luas staff are to stage further strike action over Easter.

The Dublin trams will not run on Easter Sunday or Bank Holiday Monday.

This is in addition to the stoppages already announced for next Tuesday and St Patrick's day.

Luas workers are seeking pay increases of up to 54%

Gerry Madden from Transdev, the Luas operator, is condemning the action saying it will have a serious effect on the 1916 centenary commemorations
