Irish passengers affected by Lufthansa strike

Irish passengers will be among those hit by today's strike by Lufthansa pilots.

Eight flights into and out of Dublin airport have been cancelled as part of the 48-hour walkout.

It's estimated a total of 100-thousand passengers worldwide will be affected as 3-thousand flights are put on hold.

It's the pilots' 14th strike since April 2014 in their row over increased pay.
