Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 20 September 2012
19. Deputy Derek Keating asked the Minister for Defence his views and if he has plans to consider developing a second airport which would be located in Baldonnel at Roger Casement Aerodrome, Dublin; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [39486/12]
View answerThe establishment of facilities for civil aviation purposes in this country is primarily a matter for the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport. The Deputy will appreciate therefore that this is not within the remit of the Minister for Defence to consider the development of a second airport for the Dublin area irrespective of its location.
