Question:

235 Ms C.

[39886/05]

Written answers

Minister for Transport (Mr. Cullen)

Neither the Department of Transport nor Aer Rianta, now the Dublin Airport Authority, have had discussions with Weston aerodrome regarding the issue of air traffic control at the aerodrome, nor are there plans to have such discussions. Air traffic control is the responsibility of the Irish Aviation Authority and I have no function in the matter.
