Dublin Bus services to west Tallaght will return to normal this evening after agreement was reached today in a dispute over violence against drivers and passengers.

Gardaí, Dublin Bus management and drivers' unions reached a confidential agreement at a morning meeting. As a result the 50, 56A, 65B and 77 routes will serve their full route.

These buses had been terminating at Tallaght Shopping Centre after 6 p.m. since Monday last due to a reported renewed spate of anti-social behaviour on buses.

Union sources said the impetus for the agreement had come from Garda Commissioner Mr Pat Byrne.
