Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 September 2015
1654. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the reason the charges for landing airplanes in Cork Airport are much greater than other airports in the country; if this is hindering access to the south and south west of the country; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [32051/15]
View answerThe matter which the Deputy refers to is an operational matter for the DAA, which has statutory responsibility for the management, operation and development of Dublin and Cork Airports.
This includes the airport charges applied and the services that are operated from those airports. I have forwarded the Deputy's question to the DAA in order for it to reply directly. If the Deputy does not receive a reply from the DAA within ten working days, he should advise my private office.
