Jan O'Sullivan (Limerick East, Labour)

After the visit of the Minister for Transport, Deputy Cullen, to the United States last week, I assume the Government is turning its attention to legislation on the open skies policy. Will the Tánaiste give a commitment for an economic impact study on the stopover decision on the Shannon region before legislation is introduced? Will the Minister for Defence, Deputy O'Dea, turn his attention to defending his region on this issue on which he is very silent despite being all over a newspaper this morning?
