Air boss opposed to Dairygold relocation

THE chief executive of one of Europe’s most successful regional airlines said he does not agree with Dairygold’s decision to relocate 120 staff to Cork city because of the stress it will cause its workers.

Padraig Ó Ceidigh, chief executive of Aer Arann and a former winner of the Irish Entrepreneur of the Year award, made his comments after addressing business leaders in Mallow yesterday.

Mr Ó Ceidigh said he took “very much the opposite view” of what Dairygold was planning for a host of different reasons, but not least because of the potential effect on staff.
