Disruption for commuters as bus strike in Dublin continues.
Week seven of the Dublin bus strike and the deadlocked inter-union dispute continues with no sign of a settlement.
Commuters give their views on the protracted strike and how they are coping without a bus service. For many people, walking is the only option.
