Jim Glennon (Dublin North, Fianna Fail)

I wish to share time with my colleagues Deputies Nolan and Ellis. I am delighted to have an opportunity to speak to the Government amendment to the motion on Aer Lingus and the aviation package announced last week. I am particularly pleased because it gives me an opportunity to speak about certain important issues.

I congratulate the Minister for Transport for the package of proposals announced last week which brings a significant degree of clarity to affairs at Dublin Airport that was missing for some time.
