My question is for Aer Lingus. I am a TD representing Limerick city. Shannon Airport is crucial to the economic development of the mid-west region and of particular importance is the Shannon-Heathrow service. When Aer Lingus made the decision to restructure at the start of the pandemic and stopped flights from Shannon, why did it allow flights from Cork and Dublin and why did it choose not to have flights from Shannon?
