Cathal Crowe: ...and somewhat disadvantaged. The figures I want to put to Mr. Gray are those for inbound air traffic for the first 19 days of this month. A total of 88,690 people came into Dublin, 6,751 into Cork, and 3,505 into Shannon. I do not think these figures correspond with what the market share of those airports would typically be, which has been much analysed. I think Dublin Airport normally...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Impact on Aviation (resumed) (28 Jul 2020)

Cathal Crowe: ...better ways for that to have communicated that information from a human resources perspective. My understanding is that Aer Lingus contracts are to the company and are not specific to Shannon, Cork or Dublin airports or the other bases from which the company operates. The contracts are specific to the company as opposed to the relevant airport. Many of the cabin crew based out of...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Impact on Aviation (resumed) (28 Jul 2020)

Cathal Crowe: ...customer demand and that is how it schedules flights but we are in extraordinary times. I understand that people who were booked on flights out of Shannon got emails to state they can fly out of Cork or Dublin airports. Alternatives were given so ipso facto that works also. Aer Lingus has perfectly good aircraft parked up now for nine or ten weeks on the apron of Shannon Airport. It...

Revised Estimates for Public Services 2020 (23 Jul 2020)

Cathal Crowe: ..., the Government needs to look at having pre-qualifiers for those who can object to projects. I would not dream, in a month of Sundays, of objecting to a project in the middle of Dublin or in Cork city. There is a place for environmental groups, An Taisce and for lobbyists to come in and look at the environmental implications of projects, but I believe it is vexatious for someone in...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Covid-19 Pandemic Supports (8 Jul 2020)

Cathal Crowe: ...Airport. I understand that public health guidance is preventing them from taking to the skies. However, we need to know why there are still many inbound and outbound flights at Dublin Airport and Cork Airport but virtually none from Shannon. Any open air links in and out of this country must be spread evenly. There is a lot more to this country than the Dublin economy. I hope the...

Climate Action and Low Carbon Development: Statements (Resumed) (10 Jun 2020)

Cathal Crowe: ..., a prominent hotelier in Clare, were excluded from the task force. The Minister also needs to urgently examine addressing the imbalance in aviation. Flights continue to leave from and land in Cork and Dublin airports but nothing is happening in Shannon Airport. We need to return to 24-7 operations to keep the airport afloat, solvent and trading into the new year. Deputy Willie...

Covid-19 (Transport, Tourism and Sport): Statements (3 Jun 2020)

Cathal Crowe: ...confirming that. In announcing staff lay-offs, it appears that Aer Lingus did not follow the long-established HR procedure of last in, first out. New staff taken on by the company in Dublin and Cork last winter will retain their jobs while those who have given more than 30 years of loyal service to Aer Lingus are being told bye-bye. The Aer Lingus staff I spoke to are currently taking...
