Timmy Dooley (Clare, Fianna Fail)

I recognise work is being done to find an interim solution but we must look to the future and the acquisition of slots at Heathrow which will be controlled by the region to guarantee connectivity. It is incumbent on us to do so. This issue is about connectivity and access to the world for the people of the mid-west and west. It is about quality of life and sustainability of living outside of Dublin.
