Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

I note the Deputy's comments in respect of Mr. Pádraig Ó Céidigh and we wish him well in that role. He came to it through the Public Appointments Service process and has a deep commitment to the region and to aviation.
The Government has provided substantial supports to airports and airlines, particularly through the EWSS programme and through capital investments in airports. We are looking at further measures to see what we can do to underpin the return of growth to the aviation sector because connectivity is key to the regions and the mid-west in particular. We are conscious of the role aviation can play in the economic recovery of the country and the mid-west in particular.
