Ireland should not give up its share in Aer Lingus

It would be foolish to sell Aer Lingus. Aer Lingus is a profitable and viable airline.

Unlike Belgium, Austria and other countries in mainland Europe, you can’t drive, take the bus, or take the train directly into Ireland.This gives Aer Lingus a major advantage over many of its competitors.

To the right of our island is the UK and to our left is the US, with millions of people of Irish extraction who want to discover the land of their ancestors. In addition, there is the growing market of Australia and New Zealand, again with a diaspora. Its future is bright and we should retain it.
