Tommy Broughan (Dublin North East, Labour)

Will the Taoiseach arrange for the Minister for Transport to make a statement to the House on the future of Aer Lingus? It is being said by the workforce that the Minister approved the decision to slash 700 jobs in Shannon and Dublin and that he has approved the greenfield plan which will effectively turn Aer Lingus into a UK carrier with conditions, terms of employment and connectivity issues for this country. I ask for a debate on this issue on Thursday.
