Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

I presume the Deputy is referring to the Maritime Safety Bill. That is due to come to the Dáil on Second Stage. A discussion among the Whips would facilitate arranging a time for the Bill to be discussed in the House. With regard to the other matter, I recall that when the Fianna Fáil-Labour Government made some strategic decisions on Aer Lingus there were prophecies of doom from Deputy Broughan and others, which did not prove to be accurate.
