"One thing that Fianna Fáil built was Shannon Airport," says local TD Michael McNamara; "you're going to take it down around you, Taoiseach"
The 81 cabin crew at Shannon will be offered enhanced redundancy terms or a transfer to Dublin with 45 ground staff to remain laid off.
The 198 staff in Cork will be laid off for 3 months.
Aer Lingus says there will be a requirement for redundancies and structural change after it lost 103 million euro in the first 3 months of this year and 361 million euro last year.
