Overtime row to cause disruption at Dublin Airport

Passengers flying into and out of Dublin Airport are expected to experience some minor disruption from this morning due to an overtime boycott by air-traffic controllers.

The workers have withdrawn from a voluntary agreement whereby they worked overtime in the event of staff shortages.

The move is a protest against what they say is "chronic" under-staffing.

The Irish Aviation Authority says it does not expect any significant delays, but has admitted that there is a lot of uncertainty surrounding the situation.
