Ms Mary Considine:

I cannot comment for the airlines. I heard Mr. Wilson's comments on the lack of dialogue with Ministers. For our part, we have been in ongoing discussions with the officials in the Department of Transport and with Oireachtas Members, and we have briefed both the Minister of State and the Minister for Transport, Deputy Ryan. They are all aware of the challenges we are facing in the business. We have heard the industry and the airports collectively saying we all need to work together. If we want to reopen aviation in a safe manner, we need to adopt the European traffic light system, it needs to be harmonised across Europe and we need to adopt pre-departure testing. The most effective test would be the most cost-effective, which is antigen. We have all flagged that if things are not done quickly, the risks are very severe for airports like ourselves. Ryanair had flagged for a good while that the market had collapsed and that if we did not reopen aviation, these services were at risk. Unfortunately, this has come to pass.
