Tommy Broughan (Dublin North East, Labour)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to discuss the following matter of local and national importance, namely, that the Minister for Transport should make an urgent statement in the House on yesterday's €748 million takeover bid by Ryanair for Aer Lingus. As a 25% shareholder, will the Minister indicate to the Dáil how the Government intends to protect competition in the airline sector for Irish air passengers, protect national strategic aviation connectivity and uphold workers' rights and conditions in the sector?
