Timmy Dooley: Public health officials have guided us.

Timmy Dooley: Public health officials have guided us to being a red zone. I live in Tulla, County Clare, and except in exceptional circumstances, I am restricted from going 5 km from home. Is Mr. Wilson suggesting that if I want to travel to Spain, I should be allowed go as I wish? That is the dilemma.

Timmy Dooley: We do get it and I was coming to that. It seems to me that because we are in a red zone at the moment, there are restrictions and limited access. It is hardly the fault of this Government or the Minister who Mr. Wilson identified that only about 42% of the flights that took place this time last year happened last week. Load factors are down at 38% but that is not necessarily the fault of...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Issues Affecting the Aviation Sector: Discussion (Resumed) (28 Oct 2020)
Timmy Dooley: Mr. Wilson has helped me by identifying the other countries that had no restrictions and yet, right across Europe, activity is down by 58% in terms of the amount of flights.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Issues Affecting the Aviation Sector: Discussion (Resumed) (28 Oct 2020)
Timmy Dooley: Load factors are down to 38%. Mr. Wilson made the threat that he has many other locations to which he can take his aircraft. With the best of goodwill, I wonder where he will find locations for them. We will move on.

Timmy Dooley: When Mr. Wilson considers the significant reduction in activity around Europe, there are not too many opportunities.

Timmy Dooley: With the greatest of respect, Mr. Wilson is lecturing us a little bit so maybe he would accept the offer and come on.

Timmy Dooley: I will let the Minister answer for that.

Timmy Dooley: I will address the next question to Mr. Moriarty. Some of the staff at our airports are on reduced pay, temporarily laid off or both. Has Mr. Moriarty looked to engage with the HSE about having some of those staff members available to do contact tracing? Aer Lingus will not see much activity in those areas over the next number of months. Have Mr. Moriarty and his colleagues given any...

Timmy Dooley: I thank Mr. Moriarty.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Issues Affecting the Aviation Sector: Discussion (Resumed) (28 Oct 2020)
Timmy Dooley: I welcome the presentations from all concerned. It is good to see representatives of Shannon, Cork and Dublin airports back before us. I compliment them on the work they have done in the intervening period. They have moved pretty fast in addressing the potential for testing. They have provided many answers in advance of the questions being posed today, which is welcome. We can rightly...

Timmy Dooley: There is an element of see-saw because one would hope that when the aviation industry recovers, the necessity for testing and tracing will, hopefully, not be there by then.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Issues Affecting the Aviation Sector: Discussion (Resumed) (28 Oct 2020)
Timmy Dooley: I refer to something Mr. Philips said. It is something I believe would have been the case heretofore, that is, this idea of losing a route and being unable to have it returned for probably three to five years. Would Mr. Philips accept that this is a very untypical situation? It is not as if an asset is being moved to another location. The fact is there will be, as part of the recovery,...

Timmy Dooley: I am sorry to interrupt Mr. Philips. Which country is closest to us in terms of that deeper level of restrictions being in place?
