Martin Cullen (Waterford, Fianna Fail)

I welcome this debate and the opportunity to set out the position regarding important matters concerning Dublin Airport. I hope Members will view the fact that I have come into this House as a mark of my deep interest in this debate and of my commitment. As a general point,I wish to make it clear that despite some comments that have been made in this House, to defer or deflect decisions concerning Aer Lingus or the terminals at Dublin Airport is not a sustainable position.
