Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Job Losses (24 Oct 2024)

Dara Calleary: We fully appreciate how difficult the announced closure of Aer Lingus Cargo is for the employees, their families and the wider community. Our thoughts are with them. This is a commercial decision being made by Aer Lingus as a private company. We have no role in Aer Lingus’s commercial decisions and it would not be appropriate for any Minister to seek to intervene. However,...

Cathal Crowe: The devastating news was announced to the Aer Lingus employees on 7 August last. Eighteen of them work in the cargo facility in Shannon. Despite what the Aer Lingus hierarchy will say, namely that cargo volumes in Shannon have been on a downward trajectory for some time, the reality is quite the opposite. There was growth of 23% between 2018 and 2023 and the facility handled 16,752 tonnes...

Dara Calleary: As a Government, we have responded to many of the Deputy's campaigns and calls on Shannon Airport. The Minister of State at the Department of Transport, Deputy Lawless, announced just last week €4.2 million for Shannon and Cork airports, and €47 million is being invested in Shannon Airport alone. We are very much committed to it and it is a very important part of the...

Cathal Crowe: I am somewhat worried that many people may underestimate the scale of this. It is not just about the 18 jobs but also about the domino effect around Shannon. There is genuine fear that the closure will have a contagion effect. I would like to hear what supports the Government can put in place to stymie it. Eighteen jobs are directly affected but there is much more at stake. It is a...

Dara Calleary: If there is a case to be made for investment in physical facilities, the Minister of State at the Department of Transport, Deputy Lawless, will be more than open to it. We want to see Shannon strengthened. We have identified a very exciting future in terms of Shannon Estuary being an Atlantic green digital corridor. This has enormous potential for Shannon Airport and the supply chain,...

Ceisteanna Eile (Atógáil) - Other Questions (Resumed): Library Services (24 Oct 2024)

Roderic O'Gorman: I cannot speak our national language with the Deputy's sense of competence, to my shame. When we designed the little book bag programme, which is part of the little libraries initiative, whereby a bag of books was given to each child, in the English-language bag there was at least one Irish-language book. There were also bags with solely Irish-language books. They supported domestic Irish...

Thomas Byrne: -----á bhogadh toisc nach raibh sé caite. Is léir ó fho-cheannteideal C3 go bhfuil €1.3 milliún ag teacht as clár tacaíochta pobail agus teanga na Gaeltachta. An chuid is mó de sin is ea airgead caipitil nach raibh caite, mar shampla airgead a bhí curtha ar leataobh le haghaidh togra Choláiste Lurgan, nach bhfuil tosaithe fós....
