Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Aviation Policy: Minister for Transport and Minister of State at the Department of Transport (7 Dec 2022)

Cathal Crowe: I have quite a few questions but I will be brief if the Minister and Minister of State can be brief. This matter is key to the Department and where it goes in the coming years.
