Vol. 181 No. 7

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Oranmore (Galway) Airfield.

15.

asked the Minister for Transport and Power if he will take steps to have the airfield at Oranmore, Galway, examined with a view to having it properly developed for tourist and other traffic.

Galway Corporation is the owner and licensee of the airfield at Oranmore and its development would be a matter for that body. I am prepared to assist the Corporation, if it so desires, by making the technical advice of my Department available. The establishment of a State airport at Oranmore is not under consideration.

Is the Minister prepared to give that advice immediately if asked by the Corporation?

They do not want advice. They want money.
