I ask the Leader to arrange for the Minister for Transport to give us an update on the bilateral negotiations between the EU and the USA on air transport. If the Government is involved in bilateral negotiations with the United States on air transport, it should be aware of the implications of the outcome of such negotiations for Shannon. There is concern in the Shannon region about what is happening in this regard. We need to get up-to-date information as to the current state of negotiations.
