Issues Affecting the Aviation Sector: Discussion
Dr. Niall Connors:
From a State perspective, there are wider public health perspective considerations that have to be considered. In the business of risk mitigation, which is, I suppose, what I would specialise in, the key is to have an omni-channel approach where it is not only a traffic light system but also that it is supported by other protocols and systems across that.
At a state level, the State has a number of areas that it must consider before pushing out in that perspective. The important aspect would be the engagement at a wider European level that it would be not satisfactory that a person would travel from one state to another, both which may be orange states, to use the Chairman's example, but there are differing national protocols that might limit the aviation sector, which is what we are talking about here, being as productive as it might be.
