I thank the witnesses for their contributions. I recognise the role played by the workers and union members in our airports who have made gargantuan sacrifices, adopted new work practices and endured lower pay and job losses. I thank them sincerely, particularly the members in Cork. All of us on the committee are acutely aware that the presentations today are about getting planes back in the air, having testing in our airports and ensuring we restore confidence.

I ask Mr. Cullen about the experience of his members in airports in other jurisdictions in respect of testing, quarantining and flying. I ask our union representatives, in terms of staffing and new work practices, what is the primary message to us today about the future of the aviation sector?
