Thousands of tourism-related jobs at risk if no more support, TDs told

Continually grounded planes at airports have led tourism and aviation representatives to demand further and more tailored sector-specific Government financial supports.

Thousands of aviation and tourism jobs could be permanently lost without further tailored financial supports from the Government, it has been warned.

Trade union Fórsa told the Oireachtas Transport Committee that “a State-led stakeholder engagement” is needed in order to develop a survival plan for the aviation sector.
