Tommy Broughan (Dublin North East, Labour)

Question : To ask the Minister for Transport the steps he is taking to facilitate an urgent resolution of today's proposed industrial action by more than 300 air traffic controllers at Dublin, Cork and Shannon airports given that it may cause the cancellation of more than 100 flights, severely disrupt thousands of air travellers and have a negative effect on the national and local economies; the way in which he is utilising all the industrial relations machinery of the State to bring about an immediate end to the dispute; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
