PROTESTS AGAINST AUSTERITY are taking place across Europe today with a series of work stoppages planned.

The Day of Action and Solidarity has been called in protest at rising EU unemployment and some governments’ austerity measures with 40 groups from 23 countries involved in today’s protest.

Strikes are planned in Greece and Italy with demonstrations already under way in Spain and Portugal and other protests taking place in Belgium, Germany, France and the UK as disruption is likely to affect transport links and services, BBC News reports.

There is no indication that any protests will take place in Ireland but services to and from Dublin Airport are likely to be affected.

Aer Lingus has already cancelled flights to the Spanish cities of Madrid and Barcelona. Ryanair has so far not cancelled any flights although some of its services can expect to be affected.

Unions in Spain and Portugal started striking at midnight local time overnight.

More than 700 flights across the continent are expected to be cancelled with a Spain holding its second general strike in the last eight months.
