Joe Costello (Dublin Central, Labour)

I will be finished in a minute. Because of the Greenfield cost reduction plan a work-to-rule by cabin crew started today and Aer Lingus has threatened disciplinary action, including dismissal. The likelihood is that this will escalate rapidly. Will the Minister for Transport come into the House and will the Whips arrange a debate at an early stage so that we can deal with the matter. Terminal 2 will open next month and we are in the middle of a recession.
