The Fine Gael MEP Deirdre Clune says
there is no evidence to support claims that Norwegian air will use low-paid
crews on transatlantic flights from Cork and Shannon to the US. Ms Clune, who

the US Department of Transportation to refuse permission to Norwegian Airlines
International to fly to the US from European cities such as Cork. The
Democratic candidate is claiming Norwegian Air will outsource cheap labour from
Thailand and that it will undercut the wages and benefits of airline workers
throughout the US. Here’s Deirdre Clune.
