56.

asked the Minister for Tourism and Transport if the recent decision of the EC authorities to provide £1.3 million grant assistance for the completion of the Knock airport, County Mayo is dependent on a commitment by the private company concerned to match any expenditure provided by way of own resources.

The proposed grant of £1.3 million from the European Regional Development Fund to Connaught Regional Airport which was announced recently by the EC Commission is in respect of 50 per cent of the estimated cost of completion of the airport project. The balance of the funds for the completion of the airport are being provided by the Connaught Regional Airport Development Company Ltd. from its own resources.
