Ryanair has announced further cuts in routes and flights from Dublin Airport this summer.
Last month, the airline said it was cutting the number of planes based in Dublin from 22 to 18. Today, it said it would remove another plane from Dublin and close four routes - to Basel, Doncaster, Oporto and Teesside. There will be reduced frequencies on eight more routes.
Ryanair said the moves would result in 50 more jobs being lost in Dublin. Last month, it said 200 jobs would go at Dublin, though the staff affected were being offered moves to other bases outside Ireland.
Chief executive Michael O'Leary blamed the latest cuts on the new €10 travel tax and an increase in charges by the Irish Aviation Authority.
Mr O' Leary also said there could be another 150 job cuts at the airline when it introduces further cuts to its winter schedule. But he said this might not have to happen if the Government reversed the €10 travel tax.
