Aer Rianta unions discuss proposals to avert strike

Talks to try and prevent the shut down of the country's three main airports tomorrow have broken up to allow unions to consider a proposal aimed at averting the move by Aer Rianta workers.

Unions earlier indicated that tomorrow's two-hour stoppage at Cork, Dublin and Shannon Airports is due to go ahead as planned but it's now hoped an 11th hour deal may be worked out.
