As Minister for Finance, I and officials from my Department meet with a large number of representatives of all industry sectors including representatives of the aviation industry and the aviation leasing industry.
I meet with industry representatives directly, on the margins of engagements and functions and at the request of the IDA. For example, I have met with representatives of both Ryanair, Aer Lingus and Transaero, the Chair of Shannon Airport and I opened the new offices of Avolon in January of last year. In October of last year I attended the launch of SMBC Aviation Capital, a subsidiary of the Sumitomo Bank.
