- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Aviation Policy: Ryanair (30 Nov 2022)
John Cummins: I thank the Chair for allowing me in. I appreciate it. I thank Mr. O'Leary and Mr. Wilson for attending. I compliment them and their company on what they have done to open air travel to our country on the western periphery of Europe, as they outlined. I thank them from a personal perspective for the route they have from Dublin to Košice in Slovakia, given that my wife is originally...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Aviation Policy: Ryanair (30 Nov 2022)
John Cummins: Exactly. I had better not comment or I will get in trouble. I will refer to Waterford Airport. I declare an interest, given that I am a former board member of the airport, from my time on the council. Mr. O'Leary said earlier that he saw difficulties regarding projects, the role of consultants, and no engagement with end users. I understand that Ryanair has been engaged with regard to...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Aviation Policy: Ryanair (30 Nov 2022)
John Cummins: We in the south east would see that as an integral connectivity issue. Having that connectivity to London gives opportunities, notwithstanding what Mr. O'Leary said about the hub and spoke requirements. That direct connectivity to London is of the utmost importance. If that is place, Ryanair will come back home, as we would say, given that it operated its first flight there in 1985. I...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Aviation Policy: Ryanair (30 Nov 2022)
John Cummins: I am sure that is a challenge across the whole aviation sector. I have a question about pilots and general aviation crew. Is the pilot shortage across the board still a challenge for Ryanair? Does Ryanair see that affecting Dublin's projections to grow from 38 million to 57 million passengers? It will need significant additional staff. Does Ryanair see that as a challenge? When...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Recent Trends in the Private Rental Sector: Residential Tenancies Board (29 Nov 2022)
John Cummins: This ties in with the point made by the IPOA and IPAV. It is borne out in the RTB's research as one of the frustrations among landlords. I refer to the difficulty - obviously with the preface that most tenancies are not in dispute, and we are only ever talking about a small number in this context - regarding those that do end up in disputes. These timelines for a landlord or a tenant can...
