Mr. Ray Gray:

The decision about capacity on a particular route is taken by an airline. We actively encourage our airlines to resume their operations and maximise them out of Cork. We work to try to prevent it where possible but, unfortunately, there has been a slow resumption in air services. The news on that has been more negative than positive in recent days. However, we continue to focus on how we can get airlines and passengers back to Cork Airport and get some resumption of normality as soon as possible. A range of actions is required to do this, both in terms of capability and rules-----
