View answerThe NDP Central Monitoring Committee was supplied with both a report on the Airports Sub-Programme and with a draft of the 2007 NDP Annual Report, which also included a section on the Airports Sub-Programme. The draft 2007 NDP Annual Report was discussed by the NDP Central Monitoring Committee at its meeting on 16th May last. Following consideration by Government, the 2007 Annual Report was laid before the Oireachtas last week.
