Aer Lingus talks adjourn

Marathon talks aimed at averting industrial action by pilots at Aer Lingus have adjourned.

Discussions between union officials and management broke up just after 9am this morning.

A proposal document is now being considered by IALPA, the pilots' union.

Pilots served notice of industrial action on Aer Lingus last week, with strikes due to begin tomorrow.

Thousands of passengers face traffic chaos if the planned action goes ahead.
