Madam, - Why on earth should we want to privatise Aer Lingus? Are the promoters of the policy equating competition with privatisation?
Likewise, why on earth do we want to sell off Great Southern Hotels? No details are given on why they are not breaking even nor making a profit. There is no logic to Minister for Transport Martin Cullen being the conduit for this sell-out to property developers or, at best, an international hotel chain.
If the Spanish government can run excellent paradores (state-owned hotels), why can't the Irish government? - Yours, etc,
