Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Child Abuse (1 Jun 2021)

Maurice Quinlivan: I thank the Minister of State for her response but it seems from her remarks that these men are no closer to achieving an answer on this. They still do not know if they are included in the review of the scheme, despite numerous parliamentary questions we have put in. The Taoiseach himself has met these survivors. He made both public and private commitments to them on this. He was vocal on...

When I lived in America, people would use...

International Travel and Aviation: Statements (25 May 2021)

Maurice Quinlivan: The discussion today takes place against the backdrop of the announcement last week of the job cuts by Aer Lingus at its base in Shannon. The Minister of State, in words that probably should not have been said, noted that it was very regrettable. The axing of 120 jobs by Aer Lingus at its base in Shannon is much more than that. It is a very bitter blow to the mid-west region and the wider...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (19 May 2021)

Maurice Quinlivan: Yesterday, the mid west suffered another hammer blow with the decision of Aer Lingus to close its Shannon base. This has the potential to be catastrophic for the mid-west region. The Shannon-London-Heathrow connection, and these onward connections are vital to the people of the mid west and businesses in the area.

Maurice Quinlivan: Before we move on to the second round, I want to raise the issue of Shannon Airport. The announcement yesterday was catastrophic for the reason.
