Ms Mary Rose Burke:

We are equally saying that there is a risk in looking at all the downside without also evaluating and taking into account in a balanced way the potential upside. From what we can see, and not all of the details are on the table, there is potential upside for Ireland if it is part of a strong global brand with a strong balance sheet that has growth ambitions for the company. We need to focus on the potential for future growth, the potential to drive further footfall, and how we strengthen Ireland's connectivity and competitiveness. Regardless of who owns which airlines, the issues for business are around competitiveness, growth and increased connectivity.
