Ms Lynne Embleton:

The most immediate things we need are treating the UK and the US consistently with Europe, which the data suggests should be the case but is not with proposals today, and removing the anti-family policy impact of testing and quarantine restrictions that are in place. Those things would make a big difference. The adoption of antigen testing would make a big difference. We need those things in the near term to have any semblance of a summer.

The day travel is restored is not the day when Aer Lingus's problems disappear. We have a major rebuild ahead of us. The things we have spoken about in terms of extensions or certainty of the conditions around the employment wage subsidy scheme, EWSS, the airport charge, rebates and stimulus packages are all issues we urge the Government to look at as we come out of this crisis to help us through the rebuild.
