Aer Lingus: Motion (Resumed). (25 May 2005)

Jim Glennon: I particularly welcome the package in so far as it relates to the Dublin Airport Authority and Aer Lingus and for the framework it provides for the exploitation of the undoubted potential at the airport.

The only reference to the airport is: This State is suffering from decades of public transport...
