Written Answers - Shannon Airport Diversions.

Tony Killeen

Question:

222 Mr. Killeen asked the Minister for Transport, Energy and Communications the number of diversions which occurred at Shannon Airport, County Clare during 1994, and the way in which this figure compares with other years since 1980. [4012/95]

Minister for Transport, Energy and Communications (Mr. Lowry)

The following table gives details of diversions at Shannon Airport since 1989:

Year	Number of Diversions
1989	68
1990	54
1991	27
1992	43
1993	19
1994	36

The details are based on information supplied to me by Aer Rianta. Aer Rianta have informed me that the details prior to 1989 have not been computerised and, in the time available, it is not possible to extract the information for those years.
