Delays at Dublin Airport: Discussion
Mr. Dalton Philips:
It covered only a percentage of the total. We have to be a sustainable organisation. The Government gives us nothing. Ms Gubbins has to go out to the debt market and borrow, and she has to compete with all the other commercial enterprises that are also trying to borrow. We really felt, based on all the data, that the recovery would not be until 2024. That is reflected in the fact the Government has offered a €100 million-plus scheme directly to the airlines - we do not get any of it - to incentivise travel.
