Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Issues Affecting the Aviation Sector: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Eddie Wilson:
I am not suggesting any such thing. The Senator asked me which countries in the European Union are restricting movement and I am telling him the factual position that Ireland is unique. We can argue about whether that is a good or a bad thing but the factual position is that, for example, there is no restriction on travel in and out of Spain. The reason is it has land borders and other ways of transporting. One could argue over the value judgment of that. When this pandemic passes, or gets better, we in Ireland are going to be left on the sidelines and nobody seems to be getting that.
