Éamon Ó Cuív (Galway West, Fianna Fail)

Like my colleagues in the House I was disappointed at the unilateral decision by Aer Lingus to move the slots to Belfast. Of course I welcome the development of service in Belfast but I believe this should not have happened at the expense of Shannon. Since the announcement I have received many calls asking me to make representations to the Government to force Aer Lingus to reverse its decision.
