Irish people travelling over the Easter break have been warned about potential delays and flight cancellations due to strike action.
There are multiple strikes ongoing in Europe that could cause air travel disruption for people hoping to get away over the bank holiday weekend.
Strikes have taken place in France, Portugal, the UK and Germany in recent week with thousands of passengers impacted.

Steven Moore, who heads up air traffic management operations at Eurocontrol, the European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation, told Reuters: "There will be delays. There’s no doubt about it."
The CEO of Ryanair Michael O’Leary complained that strike action by Air Traffic Controllers (ATC) in France has disrupted airlines crossing through French airspace.
Earlier this week he called on the European Commission to protect overflights from this strike action after 110 were cancelled last weekend, affecting 18,000 passengers.
The Ryanair website has warned passengers that they may experience delays until April 18 due to the strike action.
The statement read: "Due to repeated French ATC strikes, we regrettably expect more flight cancellations and delays over France from April 1-8. All affected passengers will be notified as soon as possible."
