My policy objective is to ensure that Ireland is served by as wide a range as possible of safe and reliable air services for the benefit of business and tourism. A bilateral air service agreement between Ireland and the Russian Federation has been in place since March 1993, which facilitates direct services between Moscow and Dublin. I understand that a Russian airline is planning to operate a scheduled service between the two cities starting in 2008.
