Mr. Pat Dawson:

We support helping airlines because without them, we will have nobody to take us abroad. Nevertheless, I would highlight one proviso for the Government. If customers in Ireland are refunded, the company will get state aid. In the US, airlines were told they would get state aid if they refunded customers. All the American airlines, therefore, refunded their customers and were given state aid. We fully support the airlines but they should pay back the money that is owed to customers and they will be entitled to state aid.
