It comes as Aer Lingus confirmed it has hired aircraft and crew from other operators, to help fill some of its flight slots

Ireland’s Labour Court is to formally intervene in a bitter pay dispute between Aer Lingus and its pilots.

The airline and the Irish Air Line Pilots’ Association have blamed the other for prolonging the stand-off that has led to almost 400 flights being cancelled and disrupted tens of thousands of passengers’ travel plans.On Tuesday, Taoiseach Simon Harris said he wants to see "engagement" between both parties at the Labour Court.

"Of course, we have had an orchestra of outrage led by the usual suspects from the capitalist establishment," he told the Dail. The president of Ialpa Captain Mark Tighe said the group moved on its initial pay claim of 24 per cent but claimed the company had not compromised "at all".
