I thank the Deputy. We are constantly engaging with the aviation industry, which has a direct effect on the issue he mentioned, namely, the Irish Hotels Federation, international travel and the reliance on tourism in the mid-west region and across the country. He outlined the supports that have been, and will continue to be, provided by Government.

I reiterate that the Government has put in place supports worth more than €200 million for the aviation sector. There was a revised support package last year totalling €80 million to specifically target the sector and ensure our airports would be in a position to recover and rebound when the time is right.

That commitment remains and we are constantly watching and assessing the whole industry.
