We ask the baggage handling company to write to us formally regarding the issue concerning non-EU licence holders and vetting. We will follow up. We hold hearings on this issue early in the autumn. In the meantime, if we can in any way assist in getting extra staff in place to expedite the baggage handler issue, we would be happy to help. The committee will continue to keep a close interest in this matter and will advocate for all appropriate resources and efforts be applied to address the problems arising in the context of air travel for passengers.

In the context of this committee, I thank Mr. Tom Sheridan, who is moving to fresh pastures. I thank him for all the great work he has done. I thank Mr. Larkin, Mr. Keohane and Ms Bollard for the work they and all the staff have done. We wish everyone the best and hope they will have a good break over the holidays. Our next meeting will be in September when Dáil and Seanad sittings resume. I thank the members for all their work this term and I wish them all an enjoyable break. They might hold on for a few moments before leaving the room.
