Parking Experts Dublin Congress

Parking and Urban Mobility will be the overarching themes of the 16th Congress of the European Parking Association (EPA), which takes place in Dublin, Ireland, next month. Every two years EPA organises an international congress that discusses the perspectives and challenges of stationary traffic in connection with traffic development in the cities of Europe.


The 2013 edition is being hosted by the Irish Parking Association. “The parking industry is now dealing with the policy and decision makers at country and European level, and this congress improves our high level, high status visibility to the important decision makers and institutions and stakeholders,” says IPA secretary and congress coordinator Keith Gavin.

Ryanair Pilots to force talks

Ryanair pilots are squaring up to the company in a fresh effort to force the carrier to engage with a new representative group.
The Ryanair Pilot Group (RPG) – which says it represents over half the airline's roughly 2,500 pilots – has just formed its first council. The move marks a significant intensification of efforts to force Ryanair to engage with the group.
The move comes just as Ryanair – where there is no union presentation among employees – prepares to begin hiring 3,000 new staff, including pilots and cabin crew, over the next five years to fuel a major expansion as it starts to take delivery of 175 new jets.
Five members have been appointed to the RPG council. They include serving Ryanair captain John Goss. He has been heavily involved in the Irish Airline Pilots' Association (IALPA) and previous efforts by pilots to negotiate with Ryanair.
Mr Goss won a legal battle against Ryanair in 2005 after he initiated action to challenge disciplinary procedures taken against him after the airline claimed he made intimidating calls to Ryanair pilots in Stansted.
Mr Goss insisted he was being targeted by Ryanair for having tried to include the IALPA in negotiations between the airline and pilots.
The new council members also include Captain Carl Kuwitzky, a pilot with US-based Southwest Airlines, the carrier on which Ryanair was originally based.
A source close to the group said one of the primary aims of RPG is to ensure that contracts for Ryanair pilots are standardised.
More than 70pc of Ryanair pilots aren't directly employed by the firm, but work as contractors for a third-party company.
Ryanair's labour structures have been subject to increasing scrutiny across Europe, but the company insists that it adheres to all relevant employment law.
It has also dismissed the RPG's new interim council.
"The fact that the five-person 'Ryanair' council consists of four pilots from other airlines – Aer Lingus, KLM, Air France and Southwest – shows that this is a 'non-Ryanair pilot group' and shows that the European Cockpit Association don't have enough Ryanair pilots to even form a committee," said spokesman Robin Kiely.
"There is no RPG and any pilots who are unhappy at Ryanair are free to leave, as we have over 3,000 pilots waiting to join," he added.

O'Leary criticises State involvement in aviation

Ryanair chief executive Michael O’Leary has criticised the structure of Irish aviation and the high level of involvement by the State.
At a policy conference in Dublin yesterday he said the Government was “incapable of producing services efficiently”. He reiterated his view that the Dublin Airport Authority should be broken up and privatised, and that the Commission for Aviation Regulation should be closed.
“Call [estate agent] Sherry Fitzgerald today and put them [Dublin, Cork and Shannon airports] up for sale,” Mr O’Leary told the conference on aviation policy for Ireland at the Convention Centre Dublin.
“We need to do something different, we have got to get the Government out of producing airport infrastructure,” he added.
Mr O’Leary restated Ryanair’s desire to acquire Aer Lingus and called on the Government to sell him its 25 per cent stake in the airline. He said Aer Lingus was “too small” to be able to compete with Ryanair over the long term and predicted it would struggle to survive as an independent entity.
Aer Lingus rejects criticism
“Aer Lingus does have a future except as part of one of the big five airline groups in Europe. We’d like to buy it but it certainly won’t survive as an independent airline in five years’ time.”
This view was rejected by Aer Lingus chief executive Christoph Mueller, who said that, unlike Ryanair, Aer Lingus was growing its traffic from Ireland and was now once again the biggest carrier here.
Mr Mueller said there were growth opportunities available from Ireland and noted it would add capacity to its long-haul services to the US next year.
He said Dublin Airport would not need a new runway for at least 10 years, possibly 20, due to demand constraints and existing surplus capacity.
The conference marked the beginning of a consultation period to develop a new civil aviation policy for Ireland. Minister for Transport Leo Varadkar said he was determined that whatever policy was drafted would not simply “gather dust on a shelf”.
Noting the sector is worth €4.1 billion to the economy annually, he said aviation policy had been “made on an ad hoc basis” in the past and he wanted to move to a different model.

Massive holiday rush hits airport

HOLIDAY-makers have been warned that almost 300,000 passengers are expected to pass through Dublin Airport this bank holiday weekend.
Some 80 charter flights have been added to the normal schedule for the busy period.
The Dublin Airport Authority said people should know which terminal their flight is leaving from before they get to the airport.
"Passengers should plan to arrive in the terminal building at least 90 minutes before their flight departure time, irrespective of whether they are checking in on the web or at the airport," the authority said.

Compulsory redundancies at Shannon Development ruled out despite merger

THE chief executive of Shannon Development says there will be no compulsory redundancies within the company as it prepares to merge with Shannon Airport.
Dr Vincent Cunnane says it has been a difficult few months for staff at the state-owned agency since the Government announced its decision in June.
A steering group has been appointed to oversee the merger of Shannon Development and the Shannon Airport Authority into a new publicly-owned entity with a commercial mandate.
As part of this, Shannon Development’s existing functions in relation to indigenous enterprise, foreign direct investment and tourism are to transfer to national agencies such as Enterprise Ireland and Tourism Ireland.
“We welcome the high-level decision of Government to ensure that the future viability of the airport and the region is secured through the merger of Shannon Development and Shannon Airport,” said Dr Cunnane who added it has been a difficult time for Shannon Development staff.
“There is a lot of uncertainty, understandably, at the moment the task forces are meeting on a very regular basis. My job is to make sure that the staff of Shannon Development have opportunities going into the future and that company, in the meantime does its job.”
Speaking about interim arrangements Dr Cunnane stressed that it is business as usual for the company: “We are in touch with our clients to assure them that our service levels will be unaffected during the interim period and that staff will continue to deliver the high level of service that clients have come to expect.”
