Passengers can expect further delays to flights today, with 14 cancelled from Dublin Airport.

It is largely due to French air traffic control strikes and ground strikes in Finland.

Meanwhile, Ryanair's boss is calling for the European Commission president to step down if she doesn't reform EU air traffic control rules.

Michael O'Leary said he doesn't think this will be the last French ATC strike.

"Of course there's going to be more. They're the French... it's June, it's July, it's time to go on strike.

"They're not striking for more money, they're not striking for better terms and conditions, these guys every summer create more reasons to go on strike.

"Two years ago we had 53 days of French ATC strikes because they were objecting to [Emmanuel] Macron's pension reforms, which they were exempt from."
