Ms Hynes's qualifications are exemplary and second to none. I have every faith in her. In her capacity as chairperson, she will need to take a hands-on approach to drive this change to bring staff with her. It is unusual for someone like Kieran Mulvey to be appointed in the way he was. Given her personal and professional background, Ms Hynes is eminently qualified. Given the importance of connectivity, our aviation sector is pivotal to the country's recovery. In her address to us she mentioned industrial relations matters. I appeal to her to take a hands-on approach in driving change and bringing people with her. There is an element of jaded discontentment among staff and I hope she can change that outlook.
