Inside the Papers:

Page 4 of the indo reports that up to 30,000 Aer Lingus passengers are waiting with bated breath to see if there will be disruptions next week with the threatened air strike from pilots. Talks at a state mediation body to avert highly disruptive industrial action from next Tuesday will start taking place this morning. Pilots claim that gross understaffing means that they are working six days in a row, with just one day’s break between shifts. If industrial action does go ahead, it could mean up to 28,000 passengers being affected by the day.

Page 9 of the Indo has the story that MORE than 600 RTE staff are in line to get wage increases worth more than €1,000 a year each. An internal industrial relations tribunal at the national broadcaster, which faces a €30m deficit this year, ruled that increments that were suspended at the start of the year, worth an estimated €800,000 annually, be reinstated. They will be backdated to last January. Unions had agreed to the suspension of increments for a 12-month period between 2009 and 2010 under a deal done with management, which included a pay cut for staff. The increments were reinstated in June last year, but management suspended them again last January and unions asked the tribunal to intervene. The staff who will be entitled to the pay rises include journalists, researchers, producers, camera operators and stage hands.

One of my photo’s was in Monday’s Irish Daily Mirror. It’s the cow pic on the top left. Thanks to Chris my Flickr and Facebook friend for telling me, his photo is on the bottom left of the puffins.

So what has been happening? Well not much. Andy had to go back to the dentist again because he cracked a tooth, they managed to fill it…so let’s hope that’s him sorted for another while.

Jono has been getting the bus to his course over the last couple of days. The bus has to pick up and drop off people all over Sligo though so the twenty-minute journey took almost an hour and a half yesterday evening!

The weather has been desperate. In honour of yesterday’s Summer Solstice we had the heating on for most of the day. I wish it would improve soon. Even the dog took to his bed yesterday, I think he has SAD.
