Council considers airline boycott
bbc.co.uk
Councillors in Limerick are considering formally boycotting Aer Lingus because of its decision to end its Shannon to Heathrow service.
The airline's decision to transfer the Heathrow route to Belfast International has proved controversial, with fears of job losses at Shannon.
Meanwhile, talks between Aer Lingus management and the pilots' union, IALPA, have resumed in Dublin.
The union is unhappy over a proposed pay deal for staff at the Belfast hub.
Aer Lingus pilots had threatened to strike over plans to pay staff at its Belfast hub less than in the Republic of Ireland.
But the strike was called off after the company invited the union to talks at the Labour Relations Commission in Dublin.
