Joe Carey (Clare, Fine Gael)

It is incumbent on the Government to support Shannon Development and to put good terms and conditions in place to attract Ryanair to Shannon Airport. I welcome the Tánaiste's work on this and I encourage her to go further on it. The economic integrity of the mid-west is in question if Ryanair withdraws 18 routes. Did she raise that with Michael O'Leary on Tuesday? What reply did she get?
