Question 623: To ask the Minister for Transport if he will meet with the management of Aer Lingus regarding the conditions which have been placed on customers who form part of group bookings via overseas tour operators and raise the detrimental effect this is having on previously loyal operators with the tradition of bringing tourists here; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

While I have no role in commercial or operational matters of Aer Lingus, I would be concerned if conditions were being imposed by any airline serving the Irish market that were having a detrimental effect on inbound tourism. I recently received representations on the matter, which I intend to bring to the attention of the Aer Lingus management.
