Brendan Daly (Fianna Fail)

I request a debate on the evolving open skies policy of the European Union and its implications for Ireland, particularly for Shannon Airport and the west in relation to tourism, industry and jobs. I hope we will have an opportunity to discuss this very topical matter with the Minister for Transport, Deputy Séamus Brennan. As this is a very important issue for tourism in the west, we should have an opportunity to discuss the evolving situation before the House adjourns for the summer recess.
