View answer166. Deputy Michelle Mulherin asked the Minister for Finance if discussions have taken place with the EU authorities in relation to any potential incentives at Shannon Airport and the EU's response to same; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [54340/12]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 165 and 166 together.
As the Deputy is aware, items that may or may not be included in the Budget are never commented on in advance. Therefore, I cannot respond on the issue of incentives relating to airports.
