“SIPTU is calling for an immediate meeting with the Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation.
He added: "This call to meet with the Minister is also supported by the International Transport Workers’ Federation Inspector for Ireland, Mickey Whelan.
“These tragedies are occurring with frightening and frankly quite sickening regularity.
