Planned 500% hike in airport parking fees slammed

AER RIANTA was last night accused of being discriminatory and unfair after it revealed plans to increase parking fees by 500% for some airport staff.

A Ryanair spokesman last night said the planned hikes were evidence of a semi-State monopoly which had completely lost the run of itself and called for the company to be broken up.

New charges are also to be imposed on media organisations, which will be asked to pay 100 per hour for taking photographs and making sound recordings.
