Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Challenges Facing Travel Agents and the Aviation Sector: Discussion

Mr. Pat Dawson:

I do. It is the only show in town and it will get us across the line. It is going to save the 400,000 jobs, both inbound and outbound, at the airports. I refer to our pilots and to all of the people who work around the different airports. The certificate is the only thing that is going to get us out of this mess and that is why it is nearly but not quite as urgent as vaccination. We cannot play ducks and drakes with the certificate. We must get somebody in the Government to take charge of the certificate and we need this committee to push for it, and check where we are. A couple of weeks have elapsed and there are another six or eight weeks so how long does this thing take? We have the technology in this country so let them get it done quickly.
