Mary Moran (Labour)

While I know I said it last week, I again offer my sympathy to the trainee pilots who have been landed in a dreadful situation through no fault of their own. Last night I spoke to the mother of one of the trainee pilots affected. She related to me harrowing tales of the sacrifices they had made for their children in terms of money, investments, remortgaging the house, etc. They will demonstrate outside the gates of Leinster House today and on a cross-party basis we should support them.
