I have received a request from the South Eastern Airport Company Ltd. for a grant for the improvement of Waterford Airport. This request has been considered in the light of the 1983 budgetary position and I propose to make available a grant of £50,000 to the airport company in 1983. The grant will be subject to approval of the proposed works by my Department's technical services.
