- Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Estimates for Public Services 2022
Vote 29 - Environment, Climate and Communications (Supplementary) (6 Jul 2022) Eamon Ryan: Yes, but it is a question of having the ability, particularly in terms of back office and customer relations, which is not easy. Regarding broadband, many of the companies that I have spoken to down the years have said that when retail engagement starts, having the logistics and resources to provide a good front-of-house public service is the main criterion.

Vote 29 - Environment, Climate and Communications (Supplementary) (6 Jul 2022) Eamon Ryan: I am happy to comment on that. The Minister of State, Deputy Naughton, and I had an in-person meeting with the board of Dublin Airport yesterday, which was useful. We have effectively been having daily meetings. The airport has got through a difficult period, with passenger numbers in the low 50,000s. In recent weeks, 94% of passengers have been getting through airport security in less...

Vote 29 - Environment, Climate and Communications (Supplementary) (6 Jul 2022) Eamon Ryan: That is a matter for the airport. It has good working relationships with SIPTU, other unions and the workers directly. It will have to assess and manage that situation. Yesterday, the Minister of State and I acknowledged that the workers in the airport had given everything in recent weeks, for example, working overtime and in different roles than they would originally have expected to be...

Vote 29 - Environment, Climate and Communications (Supplementary) (6 Jul 2022) Eamon Ryan: It could do so immediately. It does not look likely at present. If anything, with the cancellations by some airlines because of Covid that have occurred in the past week, the numbers are slightly below where might have been expected. We are probably at the peak of the numbers, even though it would have been expected that the peak would have been in another two or three weeks, with the...

Vote 29 - Environment, Climate and Communications (Supplementary) (6 Jul 2022) Eamon Ryan: What I said to the board yesterday, and it and the management have to make this decision, is that if they have the slightest question about resource capability being constrained by Covid, they should call them in straight away. My message to them was they should not hesitate for one minute if they feel it can be of help.

- Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Estimates for Public Services 2022
Vote 29 - Environment, Climate and Communications (Supplementary) (6 Jul 2022) Eamon Ryan: It is across the spectrum. The way it is looking, as of the meeting with the board yesterday, is that if we see what has happened in the past two to three weeks continuing, we will get through this. One of the real challenges is more on the airline side, both in check-in and in baggage handling, and much of that is coming from problems in other airports. It is arriving as a problem into...

Vote 29 - Environment, Climate and Communications (Supplementary) (6 Jul 2022) Eamon Ryan: We have to get through this summer first. The immediate issue is making sure we get everyone off on their holidays and back home. Coming out of Covid, there are significant changes likely in the aviation sector. What I said to the board yesterday is we should be meeting again in the autumn period as part of our wider assessment of what is happening in aviation. I noted at the weekend Mr....

Vote 29 - Environment, Climate and Communications (Supplementary) (6 Jul 2022) Eamon Ryan: It is impossible to know. That will depend on Covid numbers.
