Aviation Sector: Statements

Gerard P. Craughwell (IND), Labour Panel

I thank the Senator for that. I am sure he would have corrected the record when he had a moment.
A key action we must take is to put money into the airlines. We have lost Stobart Air and a few other small airlines. We have to put money into Aer Lingus and Ryanair. We can do it one of two ways. We can either grant them money or get them back in business carrying passengers. I am sorry I offended Senator Buttimer on the matter of international travel.
