Just seen the 9pm news on Irish tv tonight 6th Feb. Shannon airport was shut by lack of tower staff tonight and nothing else. There was only 1 controller in the tower from 7pm until 9pm and the controller would have broken every law in the book by operating the tower by themselves for the 2 hour period. I believe Dublin has the same problem tonight as Shannon and will shut for a few hours during the night time. Again this event shows up the serious lack of staffing in the IAA that the management claim does not exist and that the current system is dependant upon "Call-Ins"/Overtime.

It is time Impact came out with it's own press release and put and end to the slander issued by the IAA management before Joe Public gets the wrong end of the stick.
