Covid-19: Impact on Aviation (resumed)

Their contract is with Aer Lingus, not with Shannon Airport, so there was an onus on Mr. Doyle's company to at a minimum offer them the possibility of taking a minibus up and down to Dublin. Other airlines flying from Shannon have done it in the past. They could at least take home a salary every week. Some of them with 20 and 25 years service have lost out to someone who is only with the company five or six months but I heard Mr. Doyle's answer, which I believe is a resounding "No".
When does Mr. Doyle anticipate a resumption of flights to and from Shannon, in particular flights to and from Heathrow Airport?
