Proposed Sale of Aer Lingus: (Resumed) Virgin Atlantic Airlines
10:30 am
Mr. Joe Thompson:
I understand the Deputy's point. I hope there will be more direct service to long-haul destinations for Irish consumers from Irish airports in the future, whether operated by Virgin Atlantic or by other operators, but in reviewing the transaction it is important to look at the market today and the competitive dynamics that exist and think about what action will best serve the interests of Irish consumers.
