Kieran O'Donnell: I welcome the Bill, which arose from discussions in the Joint Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform on IBRC loans being sold to unregulated entities. Borrowers are entitled to continue to enjoy the level of protection afforded to them when they took out a loan, regardless of which entity is holding their loan. People throughout the country, including small mortgage holders and...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Proposed Sale of Aer Lingus: Discussion (29 Jan 2015)
Kieran O'Donnell: I wish to speak on connectivity. Am I correct in saying that if IAG and Aer Lingus were to join up, combined they would have approximately 21 Heathrow slots out of Dublin, 13 of which would be with Aer Lingus at peak and eight of which would be with British Airways?

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Proposed Sale of Aer Lingus: Discussion (29 Jan 2015)
Kieran O'Donnell: I welcome the delegates. The one aspect on which everyone agrees is connectivity. My question is about risk versus reward. What do the delegates believe are the risks if the level of connectivity is reduced, in the context of the Heathrow Airport slots and certainly in the context of the Shannon region - I am a Deputy in Limerick city - in terms of daily flights to Boston and New York in...
