Niall Collins (Limerick West, Fianna Fail)

I am glad of the opportunity to participate in this discussion, which is relevant and topical given the current economic climate. The effect of the air travel tax has been overstated by the Opposition parties. We all have a view on it and are all lobbied by particular interest groups, but nobody has contacted me to make a complaint about the tax, or said it was a barrier to travel to or from Ireland.
