Stobart Air has let 480 workers go. It is absolutely devastating news for them and their families; the worst possible news for them at the worst possible time. The Minister does not have a plan for our aviation sector and we are starting to see the impact of it now. I have asked the Minister specifically about the former Stobart Air workers before but I do so again. Will he please liaise with his colleague in the Department of Social Protection and put in place one person who can help to guide these workers through the process? They were working away, then they could not work for public health reasons. They want to be back in work but they now have to deal with the social welfare system. They are applying for redundancies. Some of these workers are not unionised and are represented by a staff association. They need some additional help. It has been done for other workers. This is my second time asking the Minister to please put something in place for them.

I will absolutely work directly with the Minister for Social Protection to ensure that every sort of support is made from the State for the workers in Stobart. The other support that could come is the restoration of services, particularly on the two public service routes where we have a direct influence and possible control, namely, the routes to counties Donegal and Kerry. We are in the process of getting those public services back in place. Hopefully it will provide some opportunities for some of the workers from Stobart to find employment again and, with the rest of the industry, see the return of aviation from 19 July as a path through to recovery.
