Róisín Shortall (Dublin North West, Labour)

I wish to seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss the following specific and important matter of public interest requiring urgent attention today, namely, the serious consequences for the travelling public of the announcement by Ryanair that it has acquired a 16% shareholding in Aer Lingus and that it intends to seek a majority shareholding; and the need for the Government to outline the steps it plans to take to protect Aer Lingus from this predatory takeover.
