I propose to take Questions Nos. 280, 281 and 283 together.
As the Deputy will be aware following the Government decision in principle to separate Shannon Airport from the Dublin Airport Authority and merge it in a new entity with a restructured Shannon Development, a Steering Group of senior officials from five key Departments was established to bring forward proposals for the implementation of that decision. That Steering Group is being assisted by two Task Forces.
I understand that these groups are well advanced in their work and that the Task Forces have recently submitted their Reports to the Steering Group. Both myself and Minister Bruton will revert to Government in the coming weeks with detailed proposals for Shannon.
I do not anticipate incentives specific to Shannon being part of proposals put forward. As the Deputy will be aware Budgetary matters are an issue for my colleague the Minister for Finance.
