Aer Lingus announced its summer schedule, which includes flights from Shannon and Cork airports. The Shannon-Heathrow route was to be restored. Will Mr. Moriarty tell the committee when that route will be restored? There are to be transatlantic routes to Boston and JFK. Will Mr Moriarty give the committee an update as to where Aer Lingus is on that? Is the Aer Lingus base in Shannon Airport secure with regard to cabin crew and so on? In the context of these two measures being introduced, where does Mr. Moriarty see the landscape of Shannon and Cork airports over the next year?
