- Business of Dáil: Motion (27 May 2015)
Micheál Martin: The Taoiseach did not have the courage to come into the House this morning. He was asked questions yesterday about the issue which he steadfastly refused to answer. It was revealed last night on the "Nine O'clock" news and then we received an email stating the planned scheduling of business in the House for the next two days was to be changed.

- Leaders' Questions (27 May 2015)
Micheál Martin: The Taoiseach must accept that his attitude to this House, in terms of the manner in which he has facilitated the debate here today on Aer Lingus, is one of contempt. Yesterday, when asked questions in the Dáil the Taoiseach refused to answer them and then held a carefully orchestrated event last night to announce the sale of the remaining 25.1% shareholding in Aer Lingus. The...

Micheál Martin: ----in particular because of the lack of any guarantees regarding the slots after seven years. Can the Taoiseach indicate whether there was any contact with the European Commission in regard to the capacity of the Government, on its own in terms of this so-called 'B' share, to veto the sale of the slots, particularly because my understanding is that the Government, on its own, cannot, under...

Micheál Martin: Has the Minister for Transport seen it?
- Leaders' Questions (27 May 2015)
Micheál Martin: That was not the question I asked the Taoiseach in regard to the European Commission. The Taoiseach should not tell untruths to the House. I am familiar with the deal made in 2005-06. There are Government memos in existence which the Taoiseach's office showed to me in preparation for freedom of information. I know having read those memos that the most detailed consideration was given to...

Micheál Martin: The Taoiseach said he is not aware of the Nyras report. This report could potentially have a devastating affect on quality employment in Dublin, Cork and Shannon Airports. I find it extraordinary that the Government has proceeded with this sale unaware, it appears, of this report. Perhaps the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport is aware of the contents of the report. It is quite...
- Leaders' Questions (27 May 2015)
Micheál Martin: Behind the scene, this is what Aer Lingus and IAG are cooking up and the Taoiseach or Government has not been told about it. There was no mention of it in the Minister's speech. I raised this matter this morning at 9.30 a.m., hoping that I would get some response from the Government in regard to the Nyras report. We need to be clear, transparent and up-front with the public in terms of the...
