View answer46. Deputy Joe Carey asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the position in relation to the State airports (Shannon group) Bill; when it is expected that the Bill will be enacted; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14974/14]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 21 and 46 together.
The State Airports (Shannon Group) Bill 2014 was circulated to relevant Government Departments on Monday last, 31st March along with a draft Memorandum for Government for any observations by those Departments prior to seeking the Government's approval to publish the Bill. Subject to such approval, I expect that the Bill will be printed and published later this month and I hope that it can be enacted by the summer recess.
