Pat Breen: Question 69: To ask the Minister for Transport the guarantees or undertaking he will give to employees of Aer Lingus at Shannon Airport post-privatisation, in view of the fact that Aer Lingus has not signed an agreement with Shannon Airport for the retention of transatlantic services post-open skies and has failed to develop new routes to the US or Europe from Shannon; and if he will make a...

Air Services. (3 May 2006)

Pat Breen: The Minister's reply is very short and lacks detail. How will the pension shortfall of €120 million be made up in the event of the privatisation of Aer Lingus and how much does the Government propose to invest in the pensions? I ask this question in the context of Shannon Airport because I represent that area and I am very concerned about developments in it, particularly the gradual erosion...

Air Services. (3 May 2006)

Pat Breen: We do not have the aeroplanes.

Air Services. (3 May 2006)

Pat Breen: The Minister is living in cuckoo land. US carriers are increasing their services out of Shannon Airport yet our State airline is not. What will happen when Aer Lingus is privatised? It flies in the face of Government policy by centralising everything in Dublin. It is not operating in the interests of balanced regional development and the Minister is standing by it. In an open skies scenario,...
