Opposition to Cork-US route 'inaccurate and insulting' says mayor

Irish aviation, political, and business leaders have branded as “false and misleading” claims made by four US congressmen who have introduced legislation designed to block the first transatlantic flights from Cork Airport, writes Eoin English.

Mayor of Cork County John Paul O’Shea said the details in their proposed bill and their references to Irish labour laws are “inaccurate and insulting to the people of Cork and Ireland”.
