James Bannon (Longford-Westmeath, Fine Gael)

How will the Minister deal with the impact of the economic fall-out from the strike action on our already hard-hit tourism industry which will be further eroded by the enforced work stoppages at Terminal 2 in Dublin Airport? This is the middle of the tourism season and if this is allowed to continue it will have a devastating effect on the tourism industry.

What measures does the Minister intend to put in place to protect hospitals in the event that this strike escalates?
