Aerlingus and airport charges
I agree with Leo Varadkar that there is no point in reducing travel taxes so that John and Mary can fly to Lanzarote.
There has been far too much emphasis on bucket and spade routes in recent years. A case in point is Cork where there is excess capacity to the Canaries, Spain and Portugal and very little access routes for inbound tourists or even outbound City Breakers.
The airports should reward airlines who make a genuine effort to bring tourists in to Ireland and charge premium rates to those whose only agenda is to drive the competition out.
