‹ Order of Business Aer Lingus Heathrow connection
Summary
Senator Burke warns that selling the State’s Aer Lingus stake could endanger the Cork–Heathrow connection, with Senator Barrett expressing agreement.
I join Senator Bacik in her remarks regarding the sale of Aer Lingus. From Cork's point of view, it is important that the connection to Heathrow would not disappear. No matter what agreement is reached, we will have no control over that connection if we no longer hold the 25.1% shareholding.
