Vol. 419 No. 10
14 Mrs. Taylor-Quinn asked the Minister for Tourism, Transport and Communications if she will elaborate on the reported comments of the Taoiseach at the IMI Conference in Killarney, County Kerry relating to the establishment of a pilot training school at Shannon Airport.
I presume the Deputy is referring to the reported comments by the Taoiseach relating to the possibility of an air academy being established at Shannon.
The University of Limerick has a long-standing interest in the aviation industry. It has under review various needs of the industry including air frame testing, aircraft electronics and improved pilot training.
No proposals have yet been formulated by the university but any such proposals will be fully considered.
