- Leaders' Questions (27 May 2015)
Enda Kenny: The legislation in respect of the registered employment agreements, REAs, has been brought forward and the commitment is that all the workers in Aer Lingus will be included in those REAs and that they will be extended to those not currently covered. Aer Lingus has not had compulsory redundancies in the past and the letter was very clear about that to the Minister for Transport, Tourism and...
- Leaders' Questions (27 May 2015)
Enda Kenny: The Deputy was wrong when she said the benefits I mentioned were already there. There was no guarantee of four new routes from the US and there was not the same impact in terms of the growth pattern for passengers coming through Ireland yesterday. We did not have the influence and certainty that will now exist, because the Minister for Finance will hold a veto, on behalf of the people, in...
- Leaders' Questions (27 May 2015)
Enda Kenny: This is about growing the economy and connectivity, creating jobs and new opportunities, growing our hospitality and tourism sectors, allowing greater access for multinationals to come to the country and greater facilities for export and business to be done from this country.

- Leaders' Questions (27 May 2015)
Enda Kenny: It is not all right, Deputy Adams. Hundreds of thousands of people are shareholders in companies throughout the country and Deputy Adams does them a disservice by his comments. The Deputy talks about documentation being laid before the House.
- Leaders' Questions (27 May 2015)
Enda Kenny: The Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport has just given a 30 minute speech in respect of both the background to this, the motion to be laid before the House and the fact that this was a matter of discussion here on quite a number of occasions in recent months. Deputy O'Mahony has done a superb job as chairman of the transport committee. He has had hearings already in respect of IAG and...
- Leaders' Questions (27 May 2015)
Enda Kenny: At least Deputy Adams had the courtesy not to say they were trying to treat the House with contempt. I will tell them this much. If we had left the business the way that it was intended to be for today, the first person out of the traps in false indignation would have been Deputy Micheál Martin wanting Standing Orders suspended to discuss this very important issue. That is why there...
- Leaders' Questions (27 May 2015)
Enda Kenny: Deputy Adams will also note that Cork, Shannon and Dublin have welcomed this proposal because they see the real potential of growing the airline, growing connectivity, growing jobs, the impact of a further four destinations from the United States over the next number of years, and the much strengthened position the Minister for Finance, on behalf of the Government - whatever Government is...
- Leaders' Questions (27 May 2015)
Enda Kenny: As I pointed out to the Deputy, this House was completely powerless when Aer Lingus decided to shift from Shannon to Belfast. That is not now the case for the future.
