Cork Airport To Face Further Disruption Today
Passengers at Cork Airport have been warned of more flight disruption today as a result of the ongoing dispute between air traffic controllers and the Irish Aviation Authority.
The airport is saying there will be no flights between 8pm tonight and 8am tomorrow morning as the dispute relating to overtime continues.
Controllers are refusing to work overtime in protest to what they say are "chronic" staff shortages.
A 24-hour strike is expected to be mounted next Thursday if the matters are not addressed. Meanwhile the two sides are to meet for further talks at the Labour Relations Commission today in attempts to resolve the matter.
