Issues facing the Aviation Industry: Discussion (Resumed)
Duncan Smith (Dublin Fingal, Labour) | Oireachtas source
This uncertainty has ended so perhaps the company could revisit it. Ms Embleton said that other airlines have been supported by their governments. They have and to a greater degree than our Government has provided to our airlines but it has come with conditionality, including with regard to the protection of jobs, particularly in Germany, France and Spain. I thank Ms Embleton for her engagement today. I have major concerns about future job losses given that I represent a constituency with many aviation workers that has already been impacted very heavily. The human resources are as important as every other resource in the company and I ask that every effort be made to protect them.
