I congratulate Ryanair. The Taoiseach is on his way to Dublin Airport to officially open the new Ryanair block. Ryanair has developed a global brand and is an example of what can be achieved by a small country. It is the leading airline in Europe and went from carrying 1 million passengers to almost 90 million passengers and I understand that in the coming years that figure will grow to 150 million. The airline will drive tourism in this country and make an indelible contribution to the recovery we are experiencing. Senator Terry Brennan's proposal is inspired and I sincerely hope the Committee on Procedure and Privileges will look favourably on it.
