Tourism Industry: Statements.

 

There have been many complaints relating to access. I draw the Minister's attention to the two areas of most concern to some of us, pricing and access by air. We have been deeply concerned by the fall – off in transatlantic business. There has been widespread concern in Shannon Airport in my constituency about the cancellation of services and the loss of connections in recent years. I appreciate the outstanding work the new chief executive of Aer Lingus, Mr. Walsh, has done to turn around in a very short time the fortunes of the company which was in danger of total collapse a year ago. It is now operating in a profit-making environment again and some of the cancelled services are being re-established.
