Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Shannon Group: Chairperson Designate

Mr. Pádraig Ó Céidigh:

I think it would accelerate it no end. I obviously cannot speak on behalf of Aer Lingus, which traditionally provided those routes. However, if the CEO or myself, or both of us, go to Aer Lingus, say there is Government support for this and it is absolutely committed to it, and ask its management if it would go with it, I would be very surprised if it showed us the door and said "No". I would be very surprised but I cannot speak on its behalf. I am very confident we would get the routes.
