Good morning colleagues,

Ahead of this afternoon's Labour Court hearing in the IALPA/Aer Lingus dispute, the Irish Times reports that the airline's chief executive received almost €300,000 worth of shares in IAG (the airline group of which Aer Lingus is part) in the last few days as part of a bonus scheme.

That story is relegated today to the business pages (page 13), while the Labour Court hearing is widely reported in national and regional titles.
