Kieran O'Donnell (Limerick East, Fine Gael)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the conspiracy of silence by the Fianna Fáil Ministers for Transport, Deputies Noel Dempsey and Martin Cullen, the Department of Transport and the Dublin Airport Authority on the withdrawal of the Shannon to Heathrow slots by Aer Lingus. In light of their incompetence, will the Government immediately move to reverse this illogical decision by Aer Lingus and grant full independent status to Shannon Airport Authority?
