Representatives of 200 staff working for Gate Gourmet Ireland Ltd at Dublin airport, a branch of the catering company involved in the dispute at Heathrow, are expected to meet the human resources chief of the company, Andy Cook, this morning in a bid to avert possible strike in two weeks’ time.

Civil aviation official with SIPTU Pat Ward said its industrial action committee would meet the following day to decide on what action to take. He said if strike action was decided on, 14 days’ notice would be served on the company.
