Airport preparedness for Garda strikes

Summary

Senator Byrne warned that planned Garda strikes could disrupt immigration units at airports and asked what contingency plans were in place.

I also raise the issue of Shannon Airport but for a totally different reason. It follows from the proposed Garda strikes which are due to take place every Friday in the month of November. Will the Leader to talk to the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport to find out what plans he is going to put in place in the immigration unit which staffs many airports? There is a fear that if there is no one there to run things, passengers may be affected. Will airports be able to open? It is an issue that affects all airports as a result of the threatened strikes.
