Kieran O'Donnell: On aviation policy, Mr. Michael O'Leary from Ryanair told the committee that the short-haul flights are the only ones paying the emissions trading system, ETS.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Aviation Policy: Aer Lingus (Resumed) (14 Dec 2022)
