Strikes and fires: Are Irish holidaymakers facing a summer of discontent?

Ryanair has submitted a petition of 1.1m 'fed up' customers to the EU Commission calling for action on French air traffic control strikes.
With industrial action, record scorching temperatures, and potential wildfires sweeping across Europe this summer, many holiday plans could be impacted, delayed, or worse ā cancelled.
Irish Travel Agents Association president Paul Hackett urged holidaymakers to check the small print of their travel insurance policy, saying there may be notable exclusions.
