Mr. Evan Cullen:

I agree that travel is not contributing to anything that has happened in the last few weeks with regard to the virus. The position of the Irish Air Line Pilots' Association, IALPA, is based on that of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control. We are not taking any other position. We want to adopt in full the guidelines and recommendations from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency and the European Centre for Prevention and Disease Control. On Flight Radar, which shows aviation activity across Europe, Ireland is an outlier in that the only aircraft in the Irish airspace are overflying Ireland. Ireland is closed yet there is aviation activity across Europe.
