I propose to take Questions Nos. 150 and 151 together.
I am advised by Revenue that based on the number of departing passengers in 2018 as published by the Central Statistics Office (18,300,561), the expected revenue generated would be €91.5 million, if charged at a rate of €5 per passenger. There is no information available in respect of the number of disabled passengers and cabin crew to calculate the proposed exemptions.
