Further flights to and from Ireland affected today on foot of French air traffic control strikes

'In addition to flights to/from France being cancelled, this strike will also affect all French overflights,' it said. 'Most disrupted passengers are not even flying to/from France," it added, but over French airspace to destinations like the UK, Greece and Spain. The cancellations include a handful of flights to and from Ireland by Ryanair, Aer Lingus and Air France on Thursday. Cancelled services from Dublin Airport include Nice (FR3954, EI544), Biarritz (FR1982), Paris (AF1617, EI526, FR1860, TO7909) and Murcia (FR5405). Aer Lingus said there would be 'limited flight cancellations to/from Paris and Nice on Thursday, July 3', and that impacted customers had been contacted. "There is potential for similar cancellations on Friday, July 4, should industrial action continue. Any impacted customers will be contacted directly to offer alternative options.' Passengers whose flights have been cancelled should be contacted directly by the airline – though if bookings were made through third parties like travel agents or other airlines, those may receive updates on their behalf. Under EU Regulation 261/2014, affected passengers should be offered the choice between a re-routing or a full refund (read more about your rights if flights are cancelled or delayed). French ATC union, UNSA-ICNA, said the two-day strike was due to persistent understaffing, outdated equipment and a toxic management culture. The industrial action comes as the busy summer holiday period ramps up, though Ryanair has long campaigned for an overhaul of ATC services across Europe. ADVERTISEMENT It says French ATC issues have caused the delay of over 26,000 of its flights in the first six months of 2025, and today called on EU Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen, to take urgent action to reform EU ATC services. 'Once again European families are held to ransom by French air traffic controllers going on strike,' said its CEO, Michael O'Leary. "It makes no sense and is abundantly unfair on EU passengers and families going on holidays.' Ryanair maintains a website and 'league table' highlighting what it says are the worst-performing ATCs in the EU. 'France, Spain, Germany, Portugal, and the UK continue to delay thousands of Ryanair flights and millions of Ryanair passengers, putting them in stark contrast to other EU States, like Slovakia, Denmark, Ireland, Belgium and the Netherlands, who are delivering many many more on-time flights,' Mr O'Leary said this week. 'If these five states can properly staff and manage their ATC service, then why can't France, Spain, Germany, Portugal and the UK do likewise?' Ryanair carried 19.9 million passengers in June, up 3pc on the same month last year.

Garda praised for going above and beyond to help reunite tourist with lost phone

A garda member has been praised for coming to the rescue of a tourist who lost her phone containing sentimental photos of her late grandad just as she was boarding a flight back to Poland. Aleksandra had been visiting Ireland and was returning home to Poland when she accidentally misplaced her phone at her flight's boarding gate in Dublin Airport. The flight had already departed Dublin when the young woman realised that she had left her phone behind. A fellow passenger came upon the phone and managed to send a text from it to Aleksandra's fiancé to say that she would hand it in to security at Dublin Airport. However, Aleksandra didn't know where exactly the woman had handed it in, and the phone's battery eventually died before she could find out. Aleksandra's grandfather was a very important figure in her life and had only recently passed away. Her phone contained many sentimental photographs, voice notes and videos of him which suddenly appeared lost as they were not backed up. The Polish woman was so desperate to get these important mementos back that she flew back to Ireland in a bid to try locate the phone. After landing back in Dublin Airport, Aleksandra first checked with airport staff, but unfortunately the phone couldn't be located. In one last ditch effort, she came to speak with officers at the Garda Station near Terminal 1 around 4am on Tuesday morning. Garda Grace Roddy was on overnight duty at the public desk and having heard the story, was determined to help. Garda Roddy went 'above and beyond to assist' doing all the rounds in the airport to find it, but to no success. Not giving up, she decided to make her way back to the gate that Aleksandra had flown out from only days previous. That's where Garda Roddy discovered the phone tucked away out of sight in a drawer at one of the airline's desks. The phone with all the much cherished photographs, videos and audio clips was returned to Aleksandra on what happened to be her 30th birthday. An Garda Siochana shared the heartwarming story on their Facebook page along with an email Aleksandra had sent to Garda Roddy thanking her for her help. 'Ms. Garda Grace Roddy demonstrated genuine empathy, took the time to listen and made every effort to help me get my phone back — even though she was not obliged to do so," Aleksandra said. "Her professionalism and willingness to act made things happen. She found my phone which I truly appreciate. 'In times when such personal commitment is rare, Ms. Garda Grace Roddy's actions deserve to be recognised.' The Facebook post sparked a huge response on social media, with members of the public heaping praise on Garda Roddy for coming to the rescue of the Polish woman. "That's what makes the Irish Police different from all other Police forces anywhere," one person said. "What a wonderful happy story. That's what you could look forward to telling all your family and friends about the real good decent people of Ireland and what a very kind Gardai to go to such lengths. Well done. Total Respect," another person said. While a third added: "What a fabulous young lady, Garda Grace Roddy is, such empathy, An Garda Siochana are very lucky to have her as are the general public. It is great that Aleksandra contacted the station to show her gratitude. human nature is sometimes that we tell more of the negative side rather than the good news."

Here's the holiday abroad you could get with a €500 budget

Going away on holidays is great, but the effort required in the lead-up to a trip can be nothing short of overwhelming and daunting, often resulting in holidays not being booked until the last minute. As well as needing to have a couple of euro saved, you need your annual leave approved, and then hope there's somewhere that suits your budget and time frame — which is a task in itself! We're still in the throes of the cost of living crisis, so perhaps your summer holiday budget is tight and you're left wondering can you even afford to go anywhere with what you have saved. Going away on holidays is great, but the administration required in the lead-up to a break can be nothing short of overwhelming and daunting, often resulting in holidays not being booked until the last minute! Pic: Getty Images For those still hoping to hop on a plane this summer, took a look at where one could end up for €500 this summer… The United Kingdom has the cheapest flights from Ireland, but going slightly further afield, a round trip to Paris for a weekend in August would cost you €123. We've opted to make a long weekend out of it, flying out with Aer Lingus from Dublin Airport at 9.50am on Friday, August 15th, and arriving in Charles de Gaulle at 12.40pm. Our return flight is 11.20am Monday, August 18. A room for three nights in Paris is looking to be in and around the €300, with cheaper alternatives for hostels. The United Kingdom has the cheapest flights from Ireland, but going slightly further afield, a round trip to Paris for a weekend in August would cost you €123. Pic: Getty Images Hôtel Libertel Austerlitz Jardin des Plantes appears to be the best budget-friendly hotel for a solo traveller heading to Paris for the weekend. Reviews say the rooms are small, but realistically, you're going to be exploring so who cares? A cozy single room for our holiday dates is €284, with breakfast available for €12 at the hotel. So far our total is €407, with €93 left of our €500. That leaves you with approximately €30 a day for food, which according to Time Out might actually be achievable. There's plenty of sights to see around the French capital also, so it would be perfectly okay not to budget for excursions — because there's plenty to do and see for free! The travel blog has Best Tofu very highly ranked, promising that all dishes are in and around the €3 mark — ideal for a spot of lunch on the cheap. Another interesting looking lunch spot is Bagel Way which is the top rated on Trip Advisor for cheap eats. The American style bagels look jam-packed with a decent sandwich for less than €10. Of course, while you're in Paris you have to try the French cuisine and Happy Caffé is highly rated for giving the perfect Parisian experience with reviews rolling in for the 'hidden' gem. For dinner, La Sociable is said to be 'the perfect place without upsetting your overdraft.' The Mediterranean inspired restaurant serves cocktails and glasses of wine — with a glass of vino a lovely treat at just €5! Another dinner option is Chez Arnaud, a highly rated French restaurant which sells pizzas for under €15. As is customary worldwide, there are plenty of Irish bars in the French capital with many providing cheap and comforting eats with your couple of pints or glasses of vino. Whether you are a budget traveler or looking for a more lavish holiday, 'Get Your Guide' is great to see what kind of activities are around, and you can also book tickets for any excursions also. The top activity to do in Paris for free is take a scenic walk along the River Seine and explore the beautiful neighbourhoods with Montmarte and Le Marais specifically named. Montmarte is a charming hilltop village which according to Get Your Guide is the best place to get all the stunning views of the French capital. Notre-Dame Cathedral is a well-known attraction, which is free to see and the light display at the Eiffel Tower is another free bucket list thing to tick off.

Notre-Dame Cathedral is a well-known attraction, which is free to see and the light display at the Eiffel Tower is another free bucket list thing to tick off. Most museums in Paris have days each month where they are free entry, but the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris is always free entry and features an array of modern and contemporary art from the 20th and 21st centuries. Paris is a large city and the likelihood is you might need public transport from places, which has not been budgeted into this itinerary. While I love a walk, many of the recommended cheap eats and budget excursions are considerable distances from each other and the hotel to the airport is by no means a walkable distance. A travel pass for three days is Paris is currently €62.30 and would permit a tourist to use all modes of public transport. It's likely you would need to increase your budget to make room for the travel pass. A €600 budget would give you just over a €10 extra day on food, which could go towards breakfast or snacks which also weren't considered previously.
