I thank the Minister for his response. I am glad Dáil approval is required for any sale under the legislation as Deputies need to have a say on the issue.

I ask the Minister to be cautious in respect of those who are advising him. He indicated he will make a decision and bring a recommendation to Cabinet. A previous Government appointed advisers from the financial services sector to provide advice on the banking crisis. We have all seen the cock-up they made. I am sounding a note of caution on this issue. Given the rapid change under way in the aviation industry, the Minister will need to be on top of his brief when making a recommendation to the Cabinet and Dáil.
