My Department are responsible for building construction at the State airports. For this work my Department have employed their own architectural staff. I have now assigned responsibility for this work to Aer Rianta Teo.; and the architectural staff engaged on it are seconded to the company. Due to pressure of work in the architectural section, a firm of outside architects were engaged in 1969 for minor works at Shannon Airport; the firm were appointed on the basis of the fees prescribed by the Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland.
