Joe Carey: I thank Mr. Philips and his team for coming before the committee today. It is a very serious issue. We witnessed really chaotic scenes in Dublin Airport. These were scenes we really do not want to see again. Lasting reputational damage could be done to our country. I welcome Mr. Philips's forthright apology to the travelling public and to the staff who work in the DAA. I want to go...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Delays at Dublin Airport: Discussion (1 Jun 2022)

Joe Carey: This was the airport's busiest weekend of the year so far in the resurgent aviation market and the DAA had no contingency plan. It did not stress-test whether those people were even eligible to work, and it did not find out until Sunday. That is not really credible, is it?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Delays at Dublin Airport: Discussion (1 Jun 2022)

Joe Carey: That is why it is very disappointing that 248 of these highly skilled, trained staff were let go or offered a redundancy package. These are highly skilled people whom the State cannot do without, and they were cut adrift too quickly. There was no foresight. Of course, it is easier to see in hindsight, but the EWSS was set up to retain a link between the employer and the employee. It was...
