Protest by union to trigger chaos at airports

Industrial action by Siptu next Monday will close the country’s three main airports causing travel chaos, Dublin Airport Authority has warned.

It made the claim in an affidavit to the High Court and was granted leave to seek an injunction preventing the stoppages.

Aer Lingus has warned it will hold the union, its officials, and members personally liable for any losses it sustains if the stoppage goes ahead.
