Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Update on Issues in Aviation Sector: Engagement with Mr. Willie Walsh

Mr. Willie Walsh:

I give credit to the Minister for Finance. The measures he has taken over the years have been very positive in attracting, for example, the leasing business into Ireland and that has had an effect on other industries.

Trying to attract tourism has to be an opportunity for Ireland. It is unique in terms of what it is we offer as a country, when we look at the west of Ireland in particular, and it is still an incredibly welcoming country compared with other parts of Europe. There are great opportunities for us. I would focus on the leveraging of the fantastic job that has been done in terms of attracting foreign investment into Ireland and the opportunities for tourism.
