The strikes are to take place on six different days.
Dublin Bus drivers are said to strike over disputes in pay.
According to RTÉ, trade unions and the drivers met yesterday to agree on the dates for strikes to go ahead.
The dates that passengers will be affected by are the 8th, 9th, 15th, 16th, 23rd and 24th of September.
John Murphy, organiser for SIPTU said of the strikes
“Our members are calling on the management of Dublin Bus to immediately enter into discussions with SIPTU representatives to resolve this situation.
“However, at this point only a comprehensive agreement on all matters can avoid the commencement of a campaign of serious industrial action.”
Reportedly, Dublin Bus drivers are not happy following getting a 8.2% pay rise over the last three years and wish to see their salaries increase following the successful strikes of the Luas drivers earlier this year.
People took to Twitter to vent about the upcoming strikes.
