The Tánaiste seems to suggest it only relates to activity outside the State. She must have been drinking the Kool-Aid that was presented on "Morning Ireland" by the chief executive of Aer Lingus where he commented on procurement: "Ah, don't worry about it. It's all stuff outside the State." Ground handling is not a procured service at the three bases in Ireland. I doubt if the people who service aircraft and do the turnaround at Dublin, Shannon and Cork will thank the Tánaiste for believing that is the case. Deputy McNamara certainly believes that it is not.
