Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Aviation Sector: Discussion
Cathal Crowe (Clare, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source
I will use the last few seconds of my speaking time to say that the task force needs to reconvene to look at imbalances. We also need to put it up to Ryanair and Aer Lingus, both of which have intensively lobbied all of us. Now that the European traffic light system is in place, we need at a minimum to see the flights to Heathrow recommencing. We need to see their commitment to routes in and out of Shannon Airport and other airports. I ask this committee to push for the task force to reconvene to look at the imbalances that still exist and will prevail into next spring.
