Mr. Evan Cullen:

IALPA agrees with the SIPTU position on that. Our preference would be the German model. Angela Merkel and the German Government were willing to put €9 billion into Lufthansa, taking 20% of the airline and putting two people on its board. It is not a million miles from the French position. A halfway house is the Spanish Government, which said that €1 billion would be underwritten on the grounds that there would be no redundancies. What is happening in the industry now sharply shows how the Irish Government approaches workers, workers' rights and workers' security, and how it is different to what goes on across Europe.
