Mr. Michael O'Leary:

It seems to me that access to and from this peripheral island should be a senior Cabinet position. Having said that, I compliment the Minister of State. When we had the baggage crisis at Dublin Airport, she was sent out in very difficult circumstances to lead the Government response to it and led it very well. Mr. Wilson had frequent meetings with her and I had a number of Zoom interactions with her. I pay credit to the work she did but I call into question why this responsibility was devolved to a junior Minister to deal with when the senior Minister should have been at the front and centre of it. That is my personal point of view.
