asked the Minister for Tourism and Transport in relation to Horan International Airport, County Mayo the operating loss incurred to date and the projected loss or surplus as the case may be for its next financial year.
These are matters which are essentially of a day-to-day nature for Connaught Airport Development Company Limited, the private company which operates Horan International Airport, County Mayo. I am sure the Deputy will appreciate that it would not be appropriate for me to disclose details of the financial affairs or activities of a private company.
