View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 228 and 231 together.
Under the Air Navigation and Transport (Amendment) Act 1998, certain assets that were previously owned by the Minister were transferred with effect from 1 January 1999 into the ownership of Aer Rianta. The company made a payment to the Exchequer of IR£13.9 million, equivalent to €17.65 million, representing the written down value of the Exchequer funded airport assets.
