Taoiseach Micheál Martin has insisted that Transport Minister Eamon Ryan is “not asleep at the wheel” and is handling issues at Dublin Airport caused by the cold snap.
Independent TD Mattie McGrath said that if the Minister is not asleep, “he’d want to be defrosted” to deal with the issue ahead of the busy festive period.
It comes following widespread issues at the airport in the last number of days that have seen hundreds of flights delayed or cancelled due to the cold weather.
