The Government’s Taskforce for Aviation Recovery is due to deliver its final report today (10th July).

Cabin crew at Ryanair have voted in favour of a deal negotiated by Fórsa which will see pay cut by 10% and provides for pay to be restored over a four year period.

Fórsa has sought clarification on a number of issues following a meeting with An Post management on its plans for the future of its GPO headquarters in Dublin.

Representatives from the Shannon airport group of unions have called for immediate discussions with management after the Shannon Airport Authority announced plans to cut pay by up to 20% until April 2023. 

More than a million people have now downloaded the Covid-19 tracker app, which was launched by the HSE on Tuesday.

Talks between Stobart Air and Fórsa are continuing. The union is seeking to maintain pilot and cabin crew jobs at the airline pending its eventual recovery.

Over a million people are still dependent on State income supports, according to official figures, although 63,000 stopped claiming the pandemic unemployment payment (PUP) last week.
