Broughan — the urgent need for the Minister for Transport to make a statement on the critical need to protect aviation jobs in north and west Dublin and the mid-west and to maintain vital national strategic aviation links to the United States given the reported cost cutting plans of Aer Lingus, including the devastating loss of 676 jobs at the company in Dublin, Cork and Shannon and the greenfield proposal to transfer Aer Lingus to the UK aviation register which would entail the employment of non-Aer Lingus UK staff and resources at UK airports.
