I'm in no way political. But the Minster for Transport said he would scrap the tax altogether if the airlines would grow.They all joined together in unity to get rid of the tax. It is now a third of what it was but the airlines didnt expand there network enough to get rid of it altogether because the they know the figures are not there. Yes they opened new route on summer schedules, but not when they were asked too in the depths of winter. They all since have gone very quiet and O Leary has gone back to having a pop at the DAA for fees now.Somethings never change. There is nothing surer than taxes and death. Varadkar called there bluff. Varadkar 1 airlines 0.
