Pat Breen (Clare, Fine Gael)

On Tuesday night last, the Aviation (Preclearance) Bill passed through this House and was supported all parties. The Minister for Transport will probably come down to Shannon Airport to launch the facility with fanfare at the end of July. I wish to get assurances from the Tánaiste. There are rumours that our national airline, Aer Lingus, will not use this facility in Shannon Airport when it comes into operation on 30 July.
