Covid-19 (Enterprise, Trade and Employment): Statements
Dail Éireann — 2021-02-18
============================================================

Catherine Murphy (SD), Kildare North

I welcome the fact that the Tánaiste said we will not be allowing Aer Lingus to fail. That is as it should be. On the discussions with Aer Lingus, do the supports being provided come with caveats regarding the kinds of services we will be able to have? I refer to our not ending up in a hub based on Manchester or to our becoming a regional airport for Manchester in terms of the flights to the US.
