Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Covid-19: Impact on Aviation (resumed)

Mr. Sean Doyle:

We were in discussions with the Irish Congress of Trade Unions, ICTU, initially. We agreed a Covid recovery plan but, unfortunately, it was not accepted by the parties within the timeline we set. We had a subsequent engagement with SIPTU and again agreed a Covid recovery plan. That plan would have enabled us gradually to restore hours and pay but it was rejected by ballot. We are now in consultation with all the representative bodies around the redundancies we need. We have had a consultation with the unions representing pilots which concluded with an agreement that was successfully balloted.
