then clearly this tax has not affected EI's business and the FR argument is a load of rubbish?
Mr. Barrington, Chairman of Aer Lingus doesn't agree with you:
RTÉ Business: Travel tax could spark Aer Lingus cuts
And to quote Mr. Barrington again:
RTÉ Business: Aer Lingus says outlook highly uncertain
'Our results have also been adversely affected by the imposition of the €10 passenger departure tax in Ireland, which we believe is very short sighted and counter productive in the current, very difficult conditions being faced by airlines and by the Irish business and tourism sectors,' Mr Barrington added.
FR and EI don't often agree but on this one they do.
