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

Paul McAuliffe: I welcome all those who have provided submissions. I worked in Dublin Airport. It is a very busy and often exciting place to work and I imagine the impact has been devastating for many of the people who work there, many of whom live in my constituency. I will live up to the stereotype mentioned by Deputy Carroll MacNeill and focus on Dublin and allow my party colleague, Councillor Cathal...

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

Paul McAuliffe: I would like to focus a little bit on the situation which was outlined. We have no horizon on where this virus is going. The current situation is not sustainable. Has the DAA done any projections for Cork and Dublin airports of how many months it could trade for if the current level of business were to become the new norm?

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

Paul McAuliffe: On that issue of confidence, international travel has become the focus of concern for many people. The unions were with us last Friday and they outlined to us that they believed we had the most restrictive travel regime in the European Union, with the quarantine. Would Mr. Gray agree with that assessment?

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

Paul McAuliffe: That being the case, can Mr. Gray answer the concern as to why there has been so much concern about international travel given he says that Ireland has one of the more restrictive regimes in the European Union?

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

Paul McAuliffe: Some of the ways we can improve confidence in that is by having a stronger presence in airports. Can the witnesses speak about their submissions and the discussions they have had with Government to strengthen checks and presences at airports? I direct the question to both authorities.

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

Paul McAuliffe: We had representatives from the taxi industry with us last week and they were concerned about changes to the way taxis operate at Dublin Airport due to Covid-19. Will the witnesses consider engaging with those drivers further to ensure their concerns are alleviated?

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Impact on International Travel (24 Jul 2020)

Paul McAuliffe: I thank the witnesses for coming in. The issue of international travel has probably been one of the most controversial issues I have dealt with as a public representative. Many different people have contacted me, some who work in the airline industry and are fearful for their jobs, others who have booked holidays and are looking at the financial impact of that on their households, and the...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Impact on International Travel (24 Jul 2020)

Paul McAuliffe: The Taoiseach confirmed that 134,000 people travelled through Dublin Airport in July. The 2% figure relates to those people who contracted Covid-19 connected to travel at the source. If one applies 2% to the 134,000 it would lead us to have had a much greater spike than we have had. Would Mr. Cullen accept that the 134,000 who travelled through Dublin Airport have not resulted in a...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Impact on International Travel (24 Jul 2020)

Paul McAuliffe: Is Mr. Cullen saying that in the European context Ireland has the most restrictive travel?

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Impact on International Travel (24 Jul 2020)

Paul McAuliffe: In regard to those people who have booked holidays but are not able to or are reluctant to travel, the additional submission references the EU norms, specifically around the Canary Islands. I have been contacted this week by many people who believe the Canary Islands should be on the green list. I ask Mr. Cullen to speak to that point in the submission?

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Impact on International Travel (24 Jul 2020)

Paul McAuliffe: My final question is for SIPTU. I am very aware of the lack of flights because most of them fly over the Dublin North West constituency. They also fly over many of the homes of people who work in Dublin Airport. I ask SIPTU to speak to us on the voluntary redundancy programme and if it has any fears that it may become compulsory.

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Impact on Public Transport (24 Jul 2020)

Paul McAuliffe: I thank the witnesses for being with us today. All the workers who contributed to the response to Covid-19 have been thanked. We should do that today. As trade union officials, they have represented the people at the front line of the pandemic early on. I will turn to public transport shortly but, by virtue of their self-employment, taxi drivers have been forgotten in the response to this...
