Issues Affecting the Aviation Sector: Discussion
Kieran O'Donnell (Limerick City, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
I have a few questions for Mr. Cornelius. Can we can have a proper functioning airline industry in Europe again without having a proper pre-departure rapid test in place and compete harmonisation between the individual European countries on the traffic light system? Would the Irish Government be required to apply to the European Commission for state aid if it were to give it to an Irish airline and how long would that take?
Moving to the representatives of the Irish Aviation Authority, if a proper pre-departure testing system is not introduced and we do not have harmonisation, how long will the airline industry in Ireland last?
