The Minister did not address the issue of security. Will he address that when he replies?

This is an important job. Significant training is required. An issue that will be central to sustaining the airport in the future is the quality of the employment. What is being offered to people who have to be available over any 40 hours in a week? It could be a Sunday, a Tuesday or a Friday night. What kind of quality of life is that for €14 an hour? That has to be addressed with regard to the future sustainability of the airport.

There were other issues such as filthy toilets. If people have to wait for three and a half or four hours, they need places to sit, even in this chaotic time. That is unacceptable and it is often the last thing that people recall when leaving the island after having a holiday or doing business. Will the Minister address the security and job issue, please?
