Air Navigation and Transport (Amendment) Bill 2026: Second Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2026-06-10
============================================================

Mark Duffy (FG), Labour Panel

I acknowledge Members across the floor for putting forward this Bill. I know it is very well intentioned. I do not want to sound patronising but obviously, I support the Minister of State and the Government in terms of the practical reality of its implementation. From the Fine Gael side of the House, we will not be supporting the Bill. We see what is happening before our eyes and especially over the past number of years, it has been absolutely devastating. However, in the practical reality of implementing this legislation, it is not possible.
