PUBLIC transport services across Northern Ireland will be cancelled on Friday due to mass strike action against spending cuts, operator Translink announced yesterday.

Translink said that it would be unable to run any buses or trains due to the industrial action.

Members of public-sector unions are staging a 24-hour walkout to protest against spending cuts and job losses mandated by Stormont.
