Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

The matters raised by the Deputy are ones that fall within the operational responsibilities of Shannon Airport Authority and I have referred the question to the company for direct reply. I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a reply has not been received within ten working days.
