Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

In view of the restriction of the Chair's ruling, a great deal of imagination is required to ask a question to which one might get a reply. It might be appropriate for the Government Whip to allow time for a discussion or series of statements on Aer Lingus. These, along with the consequences of the ending of negotiations of the EU-US open skies policy, could be discussed by the Cabinet sub-committee on Aer Lingus.

Will the Taoiseach bring to the attention of the sub-committee the issue of the comment made by the company's chief executive officer that any sale of a share in Aer Lingus would have to take place in 2006?
