Andrew Doyle
Ceist:280. Deputy Andrew Doyle asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if it has been brought to his attention that no direct flight exists between Ireland and Silicon Valley or San Francisco in California; if he believes such a direct air link would provide an employment boost to the Irish economy in terms of foreign direct investment given Silicon Valley is a central hub for worldwide technology companies; the discussions he and his Department officials have held with multi-national employers or airlines on this matter in the past two years; if he believes such a route would be hugely beneficial for Ireland given the pre-cleared for US customs and immigration at Dublin Airport; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
