Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Issues Affecting the Aviation Sector: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Evan Cullen:

Nothing that we will do will replace the millions of passengers we normally fly into and out of Ireland. Nothing we will do, whether with respect to the EWSS, the TWSS or the corporate structure of Shannon, will fix the €10 billion foreign visitors leave in our economy every year. We have got to find a way to get that back as quickly as possible. We believe testing is the way to rebuild confidence in the industry and to get people flying again and investing in Ireland. That is what we need to do. We need to find the shortest path back to that.
