View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 443 to 458, inclusive, together.
With regard to the PSO air services, my Department has formally applied to the EU Commission to continue the routes linking Donegal and Kerry with Dublin two routes. In line with EU regulations regarding the procurement of PSO air services these new contracts are expected to be in place before year end.I am considering issues relating to the operational subvention scheme and the capital grant scheme which have also provided funding to the six regional airports and I intend to bring proposals to Government shortly. It would be inappropriate for me to comment on future arrangements for these schemes in advance of a Government decision in the matter.
