Air traffic controllers' strike hits returning Ireland fans
Ireland fans returning from the Euro2016 tournament in France are facing severe flight disruption today.
Another strike by French Air Traffic Control workers is taking place, the 11th in recent weeks.
Aer Lingus has been forced to cancel six flights while Ryanair has cancelled 56.
Robin Kiely from Ryanair is calling on Europe to intervene, to prevent this from happening again.
"Fifty-six flights (affected) today, as a result of yet another French air traiffic controllers' strike," he said.
"These include six Dublin flights from Madrid, Basle and Carcassonne.
"It's ridiculous at this stage. It's the 11th strike in as many weeks, and we're calling on Europe to finally take action to prevent even more passengers from having their holiday plans and flights disturbed this summer."
