Jerry Buttimer (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
As regards international connectivity, given the impact Covid-19 has had on us from both a tourism and aviation perspective, has there been discussions in Government and in Mr. Spratt’s Department as to how Cork and Shannon Airports can be enhanced vis-à-visDublin Airport? We need to see investment in our airports and in our ports, as we have seen from Brexit. We are an island nation and aviation is a central to us as a nation. Can Mr. Spratt comment on this point, please?
