[SUB of the day]

Our stay in Italy maybe longer than intended.All three airports will shutdown fron 4am -noon on Thursday 2nd of April.The knockon effects will be huge,specifically for those of us with onward connections from Dublin.What is it with ROI away trips? wars, strikes, animal diseases, and of couse the infamous fog in '89.

Id say it wont go ahead Murph but knowing your luck with this trip so far anything could happen.
Hope the trains aren't on strike in Italy

The SIPTU branch in Dubln airport called this but without the approval of SIPTU leadership. It is very clearly designed to get publicity because of the fans returning from Bari. In fact, the first story on the Irish Times website last night was that this would cause major disruption to football supporters.

I have no problem with people taking legitimate industrial action but deliberately targeting specific groups (commuters, football supporters, whatever!) to get publicity is a very cynical way to operate and surely isn't the best way to get public support for their grievance.
