Ms Sarah O'Leary:

Cabin crew in Cork are concerned about the lay-offs. At the moment, they are temporary lay-offs for ten weeks but, as we can see from what has happened in Shannon, there are no protections for us at the moment. Nobody has confirmed the lay-offs will only last ten weeks. Nobody has confirmed the pay rate to which we will be returning or on what date we will resume. If these works run over and if anything happens between now and then, there are no protections for us. It has been an extremely worrying time. Over 100 cabin crew are being laid off at this time.
