Priority Questions - State Airports
Asked the minister: when he intends to make a decision on the future of the three State airports following receipt of the three individual submissions from the airports; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
I thank the Minister for his reply. Fianna Fáil wants to see three strong State airports. They should not be separated, as none could survive on its own. This is not merely a profit and loss situat...

Other Questions - Sale of State Assets
Asked the minister: if he will confirm his position on the sale of the Government’s share in Aer Lingus; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
We still do not know what the Government’s position is on this matter. That is the fundamental point. If the sale goes ahead, will the money be reinvested in the economy or will it be used to bring ...
The Minister said he was in negotiations with the troika in terms, and I agree with him, that any capital raised should be put back into the economy. Does the Minister have any timeframe as to when w...
