Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

National Aviation Policy: Ryanair

Mr. Michael O'Leary:

We do not do studies on worldwide aviation policy. The Irish policy is fine. It talks about maintaining a competitive environment. It is just that the day-to-day actions do not reflect the policy framework that was set out in 2019. Irish passengers, both visitors and citizens, are paying the highest environmental taxes of any passenger group in Europe to travel to and from a peripheral country where there is no alternative. We do not have the alternative of trains or motorways to get on and off the island.
