Let us have a relevant debate with the Taoiseach, who is now the mouthpiece for the unions in Aer Lingus, and allow him to defend his position. That is what we are here for and let us have legitimate views from all sides — the Progressive Democrats, the Fianna Fáil Party, the Labour Party, the Fine Gael Party and the Independents. If we refuse debates on issues of this kind we might as well pack up.
