Ireland is putting the army on standby to help alleviate staffing issues at Dublin Airport if the hub is hit by more shortages in the coming weeks.
The army will be made available if needed to assist the Dublin Airport Authority during the peak holiday season of July and August, Transport Minister Eamon Ryan told RTE Radio on Tuesday. The DAA fears a renewed surge in Covid-19 cases could worsen staff shortages, leading to even longer queues for passengers.
