Aer Rianta – Break-up plan to cause chaos

The Government would appear to have merely postponed an industrial relations doomsday for a week, if the Cabinet decides not abandon Minister for Transport Seamus Brennan’s mission to break up Aer Rianta.

Yesterday’s Cabinet meeting deferred a decision for a further week, but Mr Brennan’s zeal to have the relevant legislation passed by the Oireachtas, will ultimately unleash a huge union backlash.

With a major confrontation looming with Aer Rianta unions, Seamus Brennan is likely to get another salvo during the company’s annual general meeting today.
