James Lawless (FF), Kildare North

I thank the Deputy and I believe we are ad idem on this. I reiterate the Government wants to see the cap lifted. It is national aviation policy to grow the connectivity at Dublin Airport and indeed at the regional airports and across the island because we are an island nation.
Unfortunately, it is not a straightforward matter. It is one that whatever approach we ultimately take will require some time and some application by all involved. I have been working towards that in the consultation I have been undertaking of late, and I hope that will bring some more light than heat to the matter.
