I admit I am from the Midwest so I may be somewhat biosed but I have to illustrate my disappointment at the Government's attitude to the problem. I am not going to go into the problems this discision will create, suffice to say that it will be catistrophic for the Region.
Why did the Government keep their 25% + share holding. Maybe it is to save the Dublin and Cork Heathrow slots in the future.
I'm particularly disappointed with the performance (or lack of) the total group of Midwest FF TDs. They were all talk when the announcement was made but alas, the brave words did not turn to action when they were required. I was disgusted with Willie O'Dea who did not even bother to attend the debate in the Dail but was able to crawl out to vote against the interest of his constituents. They say that they were satisfied with what Bertie and Co. were going to do in finding a replacement service, but surely the news from BMI today puts that in trouble.
The Midwest TDs did not stand up to be counted when they were most needed. They were most likely afraid of a backlash from the party. Surely as a group, there would have been safety in numbers.
I ask all the people of Clare, Limerick, Galway, Tipperary, and Tralee come out now and let these people know who put them in their jobs and most importantly, why they put them there.
