Hundreds of striking Aer Lingus pilots have marched at Dublin Airport as part of an ongoing dispute with the airline over pay.
The strike began at 05:00 local time and will last for eight hours on Saturday.
The pilots, in full uniform, passed the airline’s head office before setting up a picket line at the entrance to the airport.
Aer Lingus has cancelled 120 flights on Saturday with up to 17,000 passengers affected.The airline say there are "a number of options" for passengers affected.
The Irish Airline Pilots' Association (Ialpa) previously called for a 24% pay rise for members, and pilots began a work-to-rule on Wednesday.
Aer Lingus has now cancelled almost 400 flights as a result of the indefinite work-to-rule and strike action by pilots.
The Republic of Ireland’s Labour Court has invited both parties to a meeting on Monday to review the current situation.
Which Aer Lingus flights are cancelled?
The Aer Lingus website has a list of flights disrupted because of the strike.
The website states that if your flight is affected, you will be contacted by them directly by email or SMS message.
Or, if you booked through a travel agent, they will contact you to advise you of your options.
