Back to School, Further and Higher Education and Special Education: Statements (3 Sep 2020)

Maurice Quinlivan: That is no bother, Acting Chairman. I welcome the opening remarks by both Ministers. They were very positive. As my colleague, Deputy Ó Laoghaire, said, we will check the Minister, Deputy Harris, on his actions on these and see how he gets on. Hopefully he will deliver on what he has said. I wish the Ministers the best of luck in their new roles, and especially my county...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Impact on Aviation (28 Jul 2020)

Maurice Quinlivan: I refer to Mr. Gray's answers - or probably his non-answers - to the questions put to him by other members in respect of data collection. It is simply not credible that Mr. Gray would expect us not to ask about this matter. It has been the number one topic on all media channels since the Tánaiste said on Sunday that PPS numbers are somehow being collected at Dublin Airport. I would...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Impact on Aviation (28 Jul 2020)

Maurice Quinlivan: I thank Mr. Gray. He still has not answered the question. He must have known this would come up. I would like to ask Ms Considine about Shannon Heritage. She expressed concern about staff and the fact that the sites will not reopen in September. I understand they are to close at the end of August. I was disappointed that Ms Considine made no commitment to extend this opening period....

Maurice Quinlivan: I wish to ask a couple more questions before we run out of time.

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Impact on Aviation (28 Jul 2020)

Maurice Quinlivan: I wish to ask about Shannon Airport's separation from the DAA in 2013. The figures for Shannon Airport are quite clear. I have them in front of me. The numbers have not increased as quickly as those for Cork Airport. Has there been any discussion of Shannon returning to the DAA?

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Impact on Aviation (28 Jul 2020)

Maurice Quinlivan: The figures do not match up.

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Impact on Aviation (resumed) (28 Jul 2020)

Maurice Quinlivan: My question is for Aer Lingus. I am a TD representing Limerick city. Shannon Airport is crucial to the economic development of the mid-west region and of particular importance is the Shannon-Heathrow service. When Aer Lingus made the decision to restructure at the start of the pandemic and stopped flights from Shannon, why did it allow flights from Cork and Dublin and why did it choose not...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Impact on Aviation (resumed) (28 Jul 2020)

Maurice Quinlivan: In reply to a Deputy earlier, Mr. Doyle referred to when demand for Shannon comes back. How will he know when demand for Shannon comes back if the airline has no scheduled flight from Shannon? How will he judge that?

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Impact on Aviation (resumed) (28 Jul 2020)

Maurice Quinlivan: I understand that. I worked in the travel industry for 19 years and I know how search flights processes work. However, the question is who would search for a flight when one knows it is not there. How is Aer Lingus going to anticipate demand from and into Shannon?

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Impact on Aviation (resumed) (28 Jul 2020)

Maurice Quinlivan: As Mr. Doyle knows, a number of staff at Shannon Airport are on temporary lay-off. Are there any plans to bring them back and put them to work, whether at Shannon, Cork or Dublin Airport?

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Impact on Aviation (resumed) (28 Jul 2020)

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Impact on Aviation (resumed) (28 Jul 2020)

Maurice Quinlivan: Finally, I have been contacted by a large number of constituents complaining about the length of time it is taking for Aer Lingus to respond to email and telephone queries regarding cancelled and rescheduled flights. I am sure other Deputies are hearing the same from their constituents. Aer Lingus has had a really good reputation for many years for first-class customer service. How can...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Impact on Aviation (resumed) (28 Jul 2020)

Maurice Quinlivan: I understand the scale of what is involved because I was working in the business when the terror attacks of 11 September 2001 happened. That was a difficult situation, although I accept it was not on the same scale as what is happening now. My point is that there are staff in Shannon who have told me they would be able to do this work but they have not been asked by Aer Lingus management to...

Revised Estimates for Public Services 2020 (23 Jul 2020)

Maurice Quinlivan: On Vote 13 - Office of Public Works, I wish to raise the issue of flood defences. The Minister of State will be well aware of the flooding problems in Limerick city in recent years. In 2014, a massive flood destroyed parts of the city. A report was carried out under the catchment flood risk assessment and management, CFRAM, programme, but it is now six years later and most of the required...
